Schedule Update - Perisher Skills Assessment

Published Fri 01 Jul 2016

Below is an update for those attending the National Skills Assessment at Perisher beginning July 2.

The schedule for the National Skills Assessment has been finalised, please see below. The age groups have been split into two separate days to facilitate the requirements of the Skills Assessment. Day 1; Saturday July 2nd  will be for all U14 and U12 athletes. Sunday July 3rd will be for all U16 and FIS athletes. Athletes are available to train with PWSC on the days they are not involved in the National Skills Assessment.

The schedule for the Assessment tasks is quite condensed so please ensure you are on time. By splitting into two groups we will be able to move through the Assessment and allow time later in the day for a more individualised and exclusive opportunity to work with the SSA Staff.

Please take a look at the schedule below, any questions please do not hesitate to contact Brad Wall (bwall@skiandsnowboard.org.au, 0424 777 046)
