U14 Head Coach: Ed Dishong, emdishong@comcast.net

The U14’s will ski from 9:00 am to 2:45pm. Some days could start earlier than 9:00 am or 

may go past 2:30 pm (athletes are encouraged to ski up to the last chair of the day). The 

athletes will ski with a team of coaches who will work with each athlete individually at 

different times. The U14’s will work on expanding and improving the skills that were 

introduced in the U12 program. The group focuses on directed and undirected free 

skiing sixty-five percent of the time, technical drills with and without gates thirty percent of the time, and tactical drills the remaining five percent. The program is focused on addressing all learning styles and continuing to work on strong fundamental styles.

The coaches will determine the race schedule. There will be between 6 to 10 race starts 

that will be at the discretion of the coaching staff. If your athlete cannot attend qualifier 

races, please let the coaches know. In January, the athletes will compete in 1 or 2 open 

races. The U14’s will race a super G. The early BWL qualifiers will be used to compete for the BWL State Finals and the BWL Championships which is scheduled in March.
