Snowsport South (SRSA) is a division of Snowsport England and is the regional governing body responsible for promoting all disciplines of Skiing and Snowboarding in the southern region of England.

Racing within the league is aimed at providing young athletes and new comers the ability to train in a competitive but fun environment in preparation for the Snowsport England Club National and Grand Prix events.

First Race: Aldershot (20th May 2012)

Thank you to those entered the first race of the Snowsport South Salomon Summer Race Series at Aldershot this Sunday.

Parking at Aldershot tends to be tight, so please park sensibly. Also please don't park on any double yellow lines as we have had some difficulties in the past with the army when people have parked inappropriately.

The provisional timetable for the day is as follows:

Time
7:45	Bibs available to clubs
8:00-9:00	Open Practice
9:15	First Run
12:30	Individual Head-to-Heads
14:15	Club Championships
15:30	Fun Team Races

Prizegiving will follow on immediately after the fun team event.

Salomon Summer Race Series

The entry fee is £12 per race. Closing date is midnight on the Wednesday before the race. (Late entries please contact communications@srsa.org.uk) Please enter via this website.

The age groups for this season (with relevant years of birth) are:

Age Groups
Under 7 2005 & later	15 - 16 1996/1995
7 - 8 2004/2003	17 - 19 1994/1993/1992
9 - 10 2002/2001	20 - 30 1991 - 1981
11 - 12 2000/1999	31 - 49 1980 - 1962
13 - 14 1998/1997	50+ 1961 & earlier

A racer's age is taken as of 31 December 2011.

The race day format will be the same as in previous years:

1. Open practice

2. Individual timed slalom runs - usually 3, best time to count

3. Individual head to head races - seeded in groups of 4 using results of the individual timed runs.

4. Club team event - The race software will consider a club eligible for each category of club team if they have racers present who fulfil the age criteria. Therefore, if a club has 4 U11 racers present, the software will enter the club for all 3 categories. If your club does not wish to enter a specific category, please let the race office know after the individual timed runs.

   11 & under: (year of birth 2000 or later) each club may enter one team of 3 racers

   16 & under: (year of birth 1995 or later) each club may enter one team of 4 racers

   Open: (all ages) each club may enter one team of 4 racers

   Clubs who have paid their SSE registration to affiliate to Snowsport South (either as their primary or secondary region) will automatically be eligible for the Club Team event. If clubs affiliated to SSE through other regions or organisations wish to enter, they may do so on payment of a £10 entry fee.

5. Fun Team event - Racers are drawn into teams of 6 using the results of the individual timed runs. Racers declare whether they wish to enter this when they do their race entry and any changes must be given to the race office by the end of the individual timed runs. The team representatives for each club are responsible for making sure this happens.

Depending on racer numbers, the day usually runs from approximately 8am to 4pm.

The points allocation for this series has been reviewed as requested at the AGM. It has been decided that the following will be used:

1st = 25, 2nd = 21, 3rd = 18, 4th = 16, 5th = 15, 6th = 14, then reducing by 1 point for each place to 19th = 1

1 point is then added for a win or draw in the head-to-heads. The best 4 race results plus 1% of any others count. (This should give a result in the event of a tie.)

Look forward to seeing you all at the races!

Bracknell - Southern Freestyle Competition

Details of this freestyle competition on 9 June at Bracknell can be found here.

Courses BASI & SSE

FINALLY BASI & SNOWSPORTS ENGLAND COME TOGETHER. OVER THE LAST 18 months a lot of work has gone onto designing coaching courses through UK SNOWSPORTS that BASI & SSE agree upon on at the same level.

So now you can do a BASI or SSE L1 course, that covers across both bodies if registered with that body.

This will be for levels 1-4. The level 3 courses we will probably take in turns to run due the numbers. But we will be running level 1 and 2 courses. To be absolutely clear, this is for the performance coaching courses our instructor pathway is still separate.

We have launched alpine and will hopefully have freestyle and snowboard ready shortly ( work is still on going to complete the resources).

Dates for the courses we will be running will be put up on the UK SNOWSPORTS website.
