2011 Canadian Winter Games Team Ontario training initiative
AOS News Update Nov. 2009: 2011 CWG Team Ontario training initiative
The AOS priority for 2011 CWG Snowboard Team Ontario is athlete preparation. 20-24 athletes from Stage 4 and 5, Train to compete and Learn to Win stages of the LTAD will be selected to participate in training opportunities leading up to the 2011 Canada Winter Games. Selections will include the use of National ranking, year over year improvement, as well as an assessment of each athlete’s current training programs, to establish their potential for a position on Snowboard Team Ontario in 2011. The AOS would like to offer three avenues of auxiliary programs for potential Team Ontarioathletes.
- sport specific, physiological conditioning program
- an individual nutritional assessment
- sport psychology sessions
2011 CWG Team Ontario training initiative - Athlete and Coach selection criteria and application are available www.ontariosnowboarders.ca and must be received by November 19, 2009
The 2011 Canada Winter Games will be the largest multi-sport event in Halifax's history and the city's first Canada Winter Games. From February 11 – 27, 2011, more than 2700 athletes will come to compete in over 20 sports, attracting thousands of visitors, VIPs, officials and media. History will unfold as new records are set, careers are launched, champions are born, and medals are awarded.
Held every two years, alternating between summer and winter, the Canada Games are a key event in the development of Canada’s young athletes. Canada Games athletes are Canada’s next generation national, international and Olympic champions. Halfpipe, Parallel Giant Slalom, and Snowboard Cross will be featured at the 2011 Games at Ski Martock during week 2.
