JUNIOR PROGRAM

The BMA Junior Program is an official U.S. Ski and Snowboard member club offering weekday and weekend training/racing for alpine skiers ages 7-15. Our development program supports youth ski racing progression in a fun, healthy, and safe environment that fosters a lifelong love of the sport. 

The Junior Program uses a fundamentals-based ski curriculum; the goal is to create opportunities for children to develop skills and habits that will support future success in ski racing and other pursuits. Families are the core strength of our Junior Program, and we rely on their volunteerism and support to succeed.

Our program's core philosophy centers on skill acquisition, confidence across various conditions, and technical discovery. The program also provides age- and skill-appropriate gate training progressions alongside directed, high-value free skiing, since skiing volume as a young child strongly correlates with achievement at the U16 AND FIS level and beyond.

BMA Junior Program Coaches

The BMA Junior Program is supported by a dedicated team of year-round professional and volunteer coaches. Many of our volunteers have deep ties to BMA as alumni, parents, former Junior Program families, and longtime members of the local ski racing community, with some returning season after season for many years. A core group of year-round BMA coaches provides leadership and continuity across athlete development, coach education, and program planning. Together, our coaches bring experience, commitment, and a shared investment in developing young ski racers.
