The BSSEF and the Northern Division needs all parents with kids in the YSL, Buddy Werner, and Junior Development programs to get their race official certification! Competitions give our kids the chance to test their skills, and they serve as key fund-raising events for the BSSEF—which helps to keep program fees down.
There will be an officials clinic on Saturday, December 8th. Programs and tests will be offered throughout the day from 9:00AM to 5:00PM. (BSSEF Program Director Jeremy Ueland is working on a way to resolve the conflict between the clinic and programs scheduled at Big Sky that day. Stay tuned to this space for more details, as they are available.) The clinic will be hosted at RightNow Technologies in Bozeman:
Sessions will be offered for Competition Official, Referee, Timing & Calculations, Chief of Race, Technical Delegate, Chief of Course, and, possibly, Race Administration.
To participate:
- Contact Jeremy Ueland before December 3rd.
- Download and print the Alpine Update and Review 2007-2008 and the Study Guide(s) for each of the classes you are taking and bring them to the clinic. You can find them here.
- You'll also need to bring your copy of the Alpine Competition Guide* to the clinic. (Or, you can download and print Chapter 8 - Alpine Competition Regulations, which can be found here.)
- If you are attending the Technical Delegate or Timing & Calculations sessions, bring your own calculators.
- All clinic participants should bring their own writing instrument(s) and note paper.
For safety's sake, the USSA, which sanctions junior alpine competitions, is requiring that all race volunteers be licensed. There is a valuable role for you to play in the success of your child's participation in BSSEF—even if you have never stepped foot on a race course. Please consider participating in this clinic.
*If your child has an active USSA membership, he or she should have received a copy of the complete Alpine Competition Guide in the mail.
