We understand at this level a PG athlete could have other obligations with national teams and sponsors so there is a lot more freedom to attend our training as needed. This option ensures three days of coaching per week and coaching for all competitions that SSCV coaches are otherwise at with the SSCV Snowboard Full-Time High School Team.
