Officials Course and CSCF Course

To ensure that we continue to have qualified officials to run races, PMRC has arranged for a combined Level I and Level II officials course to be held before the season starts. Also, NB Alpine is offering a Level I CSCF coaches course at Poley. Details below.

Officials Course

A combined Level I and Level II officials course will be offered on the weekend of December 16th and December 17th in Sussex. Why is this course important? This is a great opportunity to ensure our members receive the necessary training and qualifications to assist in hosting a race. This course is appropriate for individuals with some race official experience. An entry level course will be offered early in the new year.

The course will take place from9am to 5pm each day at the Provincial Agricultural Building behind the Court house in Sussex. Nicole Smith will deliver the course for our members and interested coaches. The cost is approximately $30 for the ACA manual and lunch for both days. Please e-mail by December 1st if you are able to attend to pjjobe@rogers.com.

Canadian Ski Coaches Federation Course

NB Alpine has organized a CSCF Entry Level 1 Course on December 22 - 24th,2006 at Poley Mountain. Participants must be at least 15 years old by the 1st day of the course to participate. Mike Clarke will deliver this course. Mike has advised that this course should be finished by approximately 2 p.m. on December 24th.

The cost of this CSCF course is $270.00 plus applicable HST. For NB Alpine Inc.'s purposes, we would anticipate 8 candidates being needed to register in order to be feasible for our organization to hold this course. Candidates are responsible for their own individual lift tickets/passes and meals. NB Alpine Inc. will supply each candidate with the applicable CSCF course manual.

Once the course has been posted on the CSCF website, the candidates will be required as usual to register on line at the CSCF website but payment to be made payable in advance to NB Alpine Inc.
