Racing Update

Friday, February 5th, 2010

The racing program has been running full steam ahead and has been enjoying many successes at our race events. We have had BV kids on the podium at every level. The program is moving ahead and we believe that the kids are really making the difference in their dedication and motivation.

We have had many great training opportunities and will continue to take advantage of the excellent hills we have at the club to give our racers the confidence and skill set to keep them competitive and motivated. Thanks for all of the positive feedback we have received in the past month, it goes a long way to justify the training space the program needs and ensures the needs of the whole membership are met. Please keep the feedback coming, positive as well as constructive, as this is what help us to get better and keeps us on track to achieving our goals.

Our traveling teams have been doing great and taking advantage of the change in scenery to get some valuable free skiing on new and exciting terrain. Our Nancy Greene Development group travelled to Craigleith recently , and We will be hosting their Development group on February 20th for a fun day at the club.

The kids are the ones making this program what it is and lets make sure they know it! We love seeing their dedication the the Beaver Valley Racing Program!
