Philosophy:

• Have a plan (early on & always - stance, balance/control, turn shape)
• Keep it simple (kids one, NMT two things to think about on any run) 
• "Less Chatter/More Clatter" - kids learn visually/Kinesthetic (by doing!) Shouldn't be in any one place for more than a minute or two....
• Small groups 4-6 racers (like to rotate Coaches, so we get to see & know all the kids)
• Positive Reinforcement - always
• Everybody a WINNER!  The race is against yourself
• SAFETY - kids set the example for courtesy on the hill (Bibs)
• SAFETY - buddy system
• SAFETY - communication, coaches with radios this season!
