U12 Race 

The U12 athletes represent Labrador Mountain while participating in races within the Central New York Ski Council. This council includes Labrador, Song, Cazenovia, Skaneateles, and Greek Peak. There are four council races each season, as well as other races in the area. The goals for the races in this program is to continue developing their skiing technique through free skiing and drills, as well as working on racing technique in gates. The coaches for this group are all USSA Certified and have both high school and college race experience. They are all Central New York skiing alumni and have teaching experience and experience working with children. Training is held three to four times a week, depending on the race schedule. The group meets Tuesday and Thursday evenings from 6:00 PM to 8:00pm, all day Saturday starting at 9:00 AM and ending at 1:00 PM with a lunch break, and Sunday's with no races follow the same schedule as Saturday training. In addition to evening and weekend training throughout the season, the U12 program also includes holiday camps between Christmas and New Years as well as over February break. During the camp, the training schedule will be modified based on the number of athletes and coaches available. Races that are sanctioned by USSA and NYSSRA are held on most Sundays from January to mid-February. All U10/U12 athletes must join both USSA and NYSSRA to be eligible for participation in these events.
