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.

5. BSK’s philosophy on overall skiing skills • Ski in all conditions: • Soft and hard snow • Groomed and off piste • Cold snow and spring snow • All weather conditions • Ski all events • Slalom • GS • Super G • Downhill • Twin tip • Versatile on skis

11. SG program for HL • For safety reasons, speed training is only carried out at official BSK speed camps • Natural in-course progression is from “cautious “to “aggressive” • Jump training and free skiing will be offered when possible • Due to the challenges of executing quality speed training, BSK almost always offer speed camps for HL, TL , 11 and 12 year old groups together • At specific times, BSK will train speed with other clubs • The amount of SG training is not based on individual results from the BSK ski evaluation 8 years and younger 9 years 10 years 11 years Pre-TL (12 years) TL (13 and 14 years) HL (15 and 16 years) NOTE: Drills are performed in and outside of training courses.

12. BSK’s policy • Ski camps: • No ski camps at glaciers in Central Europe before TL • 11 year olds and Pre-TL groups has one 3-day camp indoors during September • A limited number of ski camps on school days from Pre-TL and up. Number of days increase as they get older. • When possible, two offers will be offered (weekend/vacation days only and full camp) • Mandatory study session on all “school day camps” • No-alcohol policy (before children are in their rooms for the night) • Training: • Only BSK coaches coach athletes on the hill. Exceptions: • When coaches ask parents to coach • When parents coach their own children on the ski hill, BSK trainers will not coach the child. This is very confusing for the child. • General: • Show up on time for training and camps • Sign up on time for camps • Bring relevant equipment to all trainings • Skiers without proper speed safety equipment are not allowed to train speed • Communicate with the coaches regarding ski equipment needs • Prioritize participation in BSK and local races

14. 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
