BC Clubs & Athlete Receive 2019 NWSDA Grants

The National Winter Sport Development Association (NWSDA) was established through the foresight and donation of the Disbrow family. This generous support of the NWSDA is aimed at assisting coaches, athletes and competitive racing programs in Canada. The long-term goal is focused on boosting and sustaining Canada’s performance level and ranking at the international level.

During the past ten seasons, the NWSDA funding has contributed over 1.5 million dollars to enhancing the delivery of high performance club programs and supporting athletes with financial assistance. The NWSDA’s platform of support has a primary target of assisting in professionalizing and expanding the quality of club program delivery through Canada’s network of high performance cross-country ski coaches. The NWSDA is also committed to allocating some funding support to selected developing athletes who demonstrate potential towards long-term international podium success.              

The NWSDA is very encouraged with the outcomes of their their support for clubs and athletes and is pleased to award four athletes and twelve clubs a total disbursement of $150,000 for the 2019-20 season.  For more information click on: http://www.cccski.com/Programs/Coaching-Development/Professional-Development/The-National-Winter-Sports-Development-Association.aspx#.XPlFo1xKjIU
