Junior Programs

Age Eligibility: Year of Birth (YOB) 2011-2012

The SARS U14 Team is a great way to transition from the Youth Ski League Program to the more intensive Junior race programs. This group focuses on cutting-edge skill development both in and out of the race arena while having the opportunity to compete approximately two weekends per month.

The U14 team athlete will have the opportunity to train occasionally on Wednesday and Thursday afternoons as well as all day on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays. While there is no obligation to train 3-5 day per week, the opportunity to do so will be available. Athletes are welcome to train on only Saturdays and Sunday, as well.

Effective in the 2024/2025 season – we will only be ordering team jackets for those new to SARS or for those in need of a new jacket at a cost of $275. Everyone will be required to order new jackets on a 2 year cycle with the new cycle beginning with the 2025/2026 season.

U14 Team (2-5 days per week)

• Tuition – $2,225
• Dates: Every Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, plus the occasional Wednesday and Thursday afternoons beginning in Early December through the end of the competition season in late April.
• Holiday Camp December 27-December 31

Age Eligibility: Year of Birth (YOB) 2010 and older

This is a full-time racing and training group that competes at Northwest Cup events, Evergreen Cup events, and Regional Championship events upon qualification. Age eligible athletes may also compete in “in-division” FIS races. It is designed for athletes 16 and older aspiring to be successful at the divisional and regional levels. Athletes’ individual needs are met based on tactical, technical, and competitive goals.

FIS-aged athletes that want to compete on a part-time level may choose the Northwest Cup/U16 team rather than the full-time FIS program. This option offers a more limited travel and training schedule yet still offers a great deal of overlap with the FIS program in the training and Northwest Cup racing arena.
