Comp-Dev (L2C) Dryland Workshop - Whistler, BC Oct 15-18, 2015 »

CCBC Coaches

Note: CCC plans to move to a regular schedule of eastern vs western Comp-Dev workshops so that coaches don’t have to travel across the country to attend. The western workshops will be held in the fall of each year and the eastern workshops in the spring of each year, with dryland and on snow workshops one year apart. This means that CCC will offer the next dryland workshop (after Whistler) in the East in the spring (2016) followed by an on snow workshop in the West in the fall of 2016.  The next dryland workshop in the west will be in the fall of 2017.
