Volunteer Requirements

Points Required: 160

SSCV relies heavily upon the generosity of hundreds of volunteers who give thousands of hours to help with competitions, fundraising and various Club tasks and events. Volunteer points are earned by completing volunteer jobs, and these jobs are assigned a specific number of points based upon difficulty and time needed for completion. SSCV requires each family to complete a predetermined amount of volunteering based upon the programs in which they are involved. The number of points required per family is based upon the athlete’s program (and in the case of multiple athletes, it will be the program in which the most time-committed athlete participates).

There are numerous opportunities, both on and off the snow, throughout the year from May 1, 2026 – April 30, 2027. Opportunities will be shared with families via email as they arise.

Failure to meet your obligation could result in an evaluation of your family’s fit with the program and SSCV culture of volunteerism.

Additional training opportunities may include sessions at venues such as Woodward Copper, providing access to world-class freestyle facilities.

Strength Training

At the high school level, athletes take a more structured and performance-driven approach to training. Emphasis is placed on refining technique, improving consistency, and progressing freestyle skills.

Strength and conditioning are integrated into the program, focusing on strength, power, mobility, and injury prevention. This supports the physical demands of high-level snowboarding and competition.

Athletes also gain experience with equipment setup and preparation to optimize performance across varying conditions.
