Snowboard Training System

Snowboard Training System

The Snowboard Training System was developed cooperatively by key U.S. Ski & Snowboard club coaches, U.S. Snowboard Team coaches, and the U.S. Ski & Snowboard Sport Education staff.

The Training Systems are based on their knowledge, experience, and research into the science of athlete development.  The matrix provides a wireframe with general information in the primary domains contributing to excellence in snowboarding.  Coaches, athletes, and parents can check their programs against this framework to evaluate and plan their future direction.

U.S. Ski & Snowboard Training Systems are divided into six Phases of Development and seven Domains, please refer to the Resources section for additional information.
