Training as a member of the TSRC “community” offers unparalleled opportunities for an athlete to develop his or her skiing skills while enjoying friendships within the skiing fraternity.  TSRC provides younger athletes with support, advice and inspiration from older athletes, and older athletes the opportunity to train and compete with other advanced racers. This is integral for athletes to develop and improve their skiing ability while also encouraging emotional maturity and independence.

The training programmes are supervised by the TSRC Head Coach Jo Draxl and his team of experienced race coaches.

Membership information can be found in the Membership Information page.
