NYSEF is excited to announce the addition of three new terms to our program offerings this season.
The NYSEFWinter Term Program will provide aspiring student-athletes in our development
programs with the opportunity to pursue their athletics at an advanced level
while continuing remotely in their school’s academic curricula. With coaching
from NYSEF’s elite coaching staff and academic support from a team of
experienced tutors, Winter Term athletes will be able to make huge gains on the
hill while maintaining rigorous academic standards.
In addition
to the Full Winter Term (approx. 11.5
weeks, from January 2 to March 22), we’ve added three discipline-specific
Winter Terms which will offer athletes significant additional on-snow training
in the months leading up to key championship events.
The January Winter Term (4.5 weeks, from
January 2 to February 2) will have an Alpine/Freeride
focus, and will begin immediately following the Christmas break. A month of
dedicated on-snow training in January will allow U14 and U16 athletes to
prepare for priority qualifiers for post-season championship events including
State/Regional Championships and beyond.
Two February Winter Terms will now be
offered, both with a Nordic focus. A cross-country
specific Winter Term will be offered from February 2-March 1, allowing
Nordic skiers to maximize quality on-snow training and recovery time in
preparation for the Junior National Championships, held from March 2-8 in
Stowe, VT. The Ski Jumping and Nordic
Combined Winter Term will run from January 27 to February 20, and will
allow jumpers to double their amount of jumps before the Junior National
Championships, held from February 22-25 in Anchorage, AK.
The NYSEF Winter Term Program will take
advantage of the world-class facilities available at the Olympic Training Center in Lake Placid. Program enrollment includes
access to the OTC gymnasium and weight room facility, conference rooms for academic sessions,
as well as access to their full-service cafeteria
and dormitory (for boarding
students). NYSEF is proud of its close relationship with the Olympic Training
Center and use of this resource allows Winter Term athletes to live and train
in a world-class facility surrounded by international athletes making their
final preparations for the 2014 Olympic Games in Sochi.
Application deadlines will be November
15th 2013 for terms starting in January and December 15th 2013
for terms starting in late January or early February.
