Alpine Ontario Alpin will be launching a follow up to our successful spring coach education webinar series starting Wednesday October 7 continuing through December.  The spring webinar series provided an opportunity to continue to keep the coaching community engaged during the pandemic lock down and this follow up series will continue to engage as well as remove barriers for participation for many coaches.  AOA typically runs a 2-day indoor coaches conference in October and/or a on-hill 2-day Kick Start event which can be difficult for coaches to commit to, not to mention public health restrictions will limit our ability to deliver in person training this season.  Virtual education opportunities spread over 3 months will provide many opportunities for more coaches to participate and tune into topics that are most relevant to them.

The fall webinar series will focus on skills and knowledge alpine ski race coaches will need to successfully navigate the 2021 season including COVID learnings from other individual sports, Return to Training/Competition, safe sport best practices, jury workshop, course setting, CSC pathway, AOA training priorities and some surprise presenters from the worldwide ski and leadership community.   Cost of these webinars will be free of charge and 1 PD credit will be earned for every 2 sessions attended.
