K1s in their Club Jackets

So, welcome to the world of junior ski racing. MSRC just held its in-house ski swap and is about to hold its public equipment swap. Did anyone explain the difference to you, and are you wondering where you fit in to either? Do you have a race suit yet? Do you need one at entry K1 level? And how about goggles – should I buy special race goggles or can we just use the ones s/he had for Nancy Greene last year? So many unknowns. It’s like first year university, without the toga party.

If you require answers to these or any other question, do one or more of the following:

1. Talk to a K1 MSRC coach – they know exactly what you need, and will even help you with sizing. This year’s K1 coaches are Marcel Ritter and Hanna Nichols.

2. Talk to your K1 parent rep – Scott Carr.

3. Sign up for the MSRC news feed. Log on to www.msrc.ca, type your email address into the “Stay Updated” box and hit “Subscribe”. This is an RSS feed that will automatically send you notification when new information has been posted to MSRC’s Web news pages. You can unsubscribe at any time.

4. Email your query to MSRC Online by emailing web@msrc.ca   Don’t be shy – we’ve all been there.

5. Watch for a “K1 Parents” link to appear in the near future on the Website’s sidebar. It will be an anonymous collation of questions and answers relevant to final-year Nancy Greene and first-year K1 Parents.

Will you be volunteering for MSRC this year, in any capacity? If so, then you need to complete the ACA Membership form provided below and return it to the MSRC office before snow fall. It is required for insurance purposes.

2010 ACA Membership Form

If you completed the form in a previous year, you still need to complete and return it again this year, as it changes annually.

You also need to complete the form if you are a member of staff (e.g. all coaches). But MSRC athletes do not need to complete a separate ACA membership form as it is a component of the MSRC registration form.
