PROGRAM DESCRIPTION  

This U16 High-Performance Program (HPP) is an initiative that started in 2016 with consultations with Alpine Canada Alpin (ACA), The Ontario Ministry of Tourism, Culture, and Sport (MTCS) and the AOA member clubs. The program is collaborative in design, to work alongside club and regional programs and in no way replaces the existing club programs, their club/region camps and/or training days. Athletes in the U16 HPP remain with their existing teams and clubs.

  • To increase an athlete’s time on snow
  • To raise their fitness level
  • To increase encouragement and motivation
  • To support AOA clubs with athlete development
  • To engage those looking for high-performance initiatives

  • Technical skill development on-snow
  • To learn from some of the most experienced coaches, trainers and therapists in Canada

“The AOA U16 HPP was a game-changer for our daughter. She connected with the coaches who identified, explained and provided solutions in such a way that both engaged her and made her understand what she needed to do, and why it needed to be done that way. Ultimately the ski camp made it clear that at this stage of her skiing career, we need to ensure that she is receiving the highest calibre coaching to help her reach her full potential in this sport.” — Parent.
