Goals: • BSK’s alpinvirksomhet er primært rettet inn mot barn og ungdom som ønsker å drive alpin skikjøring som konkurranseidrett. Innunder dette er BSK’s målsetning: • Gi et bredt tilbud om alpin skikjøring til barn og ungdom som dekker alle nivåer. • Fremstå som attraktiv for alle som ønsker å satse på alpint. • Utvikle løpere som er blant landets beste i alle aldersklasser over 12 år, samt være representert på Norges ulike representasjons/landslag. • Klubben skal tiltrekkes seg og utvikle trenere med høy kompetanse. • Det skal skapes et sunt og godt miljø hvor løpere, foreldre og trenere trives og ønsker å bruke fritiden sin. • Klubben skal bidra til et godt og konstruktivt samarbeid med andre alpinklubber. Sportslig opplegg • BSK skal ha et tilbud som omfatter et bredt spekter av ferdighetsnivåer og alders­trinn. Vårt sportlige opplegg omfatter alt fra skiskole til et omfattende trenings­program rettet mot de som drømmer om å bli toppalpinist. Sentralt i det vi gjør er å skape skiglede, vennskap og entusiasme. Source: www.bskalpint.no

4. Sportsmanship in BSK • Sportsmanship is defined as: • Playing fair • Following the rules of the game • Respecting the judgment of referees and officials • Treating opponents with respect • Some people define good sportsmanship as the "golden rule" of sports — in other words, treating the people you ski with and against as you'd like to be treated yourself! • You demonstrate good sportsmanship when you show respect for yourself, your teammates, and your opponents, for the coaches on both sides, and for the referees, judges, and other officials. • Parents also need to be aware of how they behave during training and competition. Sportsmanship is a style and an attitude, and it can have a positive influence on everyone around you.

6. BSK Alpint treningstilbud sesongen 2013-14:BSK Alpint forventer ikke at utøvere stiller på alle treninger eller samlinger, men at de i samråd med foreldre (og ev. trenere) velger det omfanget som passer. * Opp til hver enkelt gruppe, men de fleste grupper har sosiale arrangement slik som kick off, pizzakveld etter trening og sesongavslutning. Dette organiseres av den enkelte gruppe, med støtte fra BSK Alpint.

7. Philosophy behind BSK’s offering • The offering is developed in order to meet BSK’s goals: • Training for children and teenagers at all levels • Attractive program for those who want to succeed in alpine skiing • “Produce” top level skiers • Positive environment for athletes, coaches and parents • Athletes are not expected to participate in all offered training or camps, or to compete in all races where the coach is present • Parents are encouraged to communicate with coaches regarding each individual child’s level of participation • BSK encourages athletes to participate in more than one sport • BSK encourages athletes to select alpine skiing as their number 1 winter sport by the age they enter TL. Participation in other sports, especially summer sports, is encouraged. • Creating good groups is a key success factor: • It should be fun to ski. Skiers who have fun, ski more often, and become better skiers. • Everyone is included in the group, regardless of ability and level of participation at camps and races • Integration between groups is critical to the continued success of the program • Joint camps with other groups inspire and motivate
