We believe in connecting like-minded athletes across the province and are adapting the program to work within our current constraints and bring value to your training and season preparation.  In 2020 a similar program was operated for U16’s and results showed on the snow with better conditioned and prepared athletes.  The concept has been expanded to U14’s for 2021 so more athletes can focus on their off-season conditioning for the winter racing season.  Starting a structured, alpine ski specific, off season conditioning program earlier in an athlete’s athletic pathway will result in more fun and achievement on snow.

The 2021 program will offer the following and will be available for all athletes born 2009-2006:

• A periodized fitness program running from June 1^st through the end of October. The program will include the program handout including links to videos for each exercise, bi-weekly Zoom workouts, fitness benchmarking, fitness testing protocol and a discount for individual programming and workouts with Active Life Conditioning.
• Access to in person conditioning camps in the summer facilitated by Active Life Conditioning in Collingwood – all subject to public health regulations and protocols.  This is an additional fee and registration is now open.  Register here.
• On-line webinars with Canadian Sport Institute of Ontario practitioners including sports psychology, nutrition and exercise physiology.
• Leadership from AOA Athletics staff and exposure to Ontario Ski Team coaches and athletes
• Access to summer school credit to take the pressure of school in the winter season

This program will open for registration April 7^th, 2021 and the program will begin at the beginning of June.  The first month of the program will be weekly Zoom workouts to solidify safe technique and live demonstration of the program movements by the lead trainer at Active Life Conditioning.  Zoom workouts will be bi-weekly July onwards on Wednesday afternoons.

Cost of this program is $475 plus HST and click here to register.

U16 athletes will need to register and participate in the U16 OCUP Conditioning Program to be considered for the U16 High Performance Program.

Please note: You must be an AOA member to register and participate in this program.  Participants will have to register for next season 2021-22 come the new registration cycle, starting July 1, 2021 as well.

If you are not registered for the 20-21 season with AOA, AOA will add a $50 insurance fee to your 21-22 registration to cover you for the month of training during June.  You will be required to sign a ACA waiver before the program begins in June as well.
