The U.S. Ski Team is offering two coaching positions for the 2011 J1 Scandinavian Cup Race Series. Both positions are fully funded by NCCSEF. Coaches looking to apply for these positions should have experience working with athletes aged 15-20, a strong background in waxing and testing skis, and be willing to work hard for two weeks.
Successful applicants will also be positive role models for high school aged athletes and have a willingness to share their experiences and love of ski racing. We are looking to develop coaches and welcome all applications from coaches wishing to gain new experience and willing to share their own.
Please send a resume and brief cover letter to mwhitcomb@ussa.org by October 25th. The staff will be selected by November 1st.
Selection criteria for athletes are posted at www.ussa.org – go to “Sports,” “Cross Country,” and then “Advancement.”
