Staples Ski Team

We were lucky enough to hold time trials tonight and we wanted to thank everyone for all of their hard effort and work at the start of this season.  Our rosters have been posted under “roster” on the site.

For those who have made the team, please plan on meeting tomorrow at 3 to receive your team GS suits.  For those who have made the team and would like to order a team jacket, please contact Becca tomorrow morning as she will let you know what sizes we have and the cost.

Thanks and looking forward to a great season,

Courtney and Becca

Sean Florian, from ProTek Ski Racing, will be coming to Staples on Thursday at 4:30.  Attached you will find the order form for helmets if you are interested. As we noted at practice yesterday, you can also check with Westport Ski and Sport. Be sure to mention to them Staples Ski Team.

CISL HELMET AND GOGGLE ORDER FORM

Our very own Courtney Ruggiero is the 2018 teacher of the year! As many of you may know, Courtney is not only our very talented boys ski team coach, she is also an eighth grade social studies teacher at Bedford Middle School.

Congrats Courtney!

P.S. Think snow! Ski season will be here soon!

The CISL just recently posted the following information regarding a change in helmet rules that will go into effect next season. With this in mind, we wanted to alert everyone who may be purchasing a new helmet this season. If you have any questions, please refer to the link at the bottom of the League’s announcement.

From the CISL website:

CISL Helmet rule

We are aware of the changes in helmet regulations that USSA has implemented. Currently our rules read as follows, “Helmets, designed and approved for ski racing, must be worn by all racers at all times while skiing in any and all CISL GS races. Helmets or approved slalom specific face protection MUST be worn in all SL races”.

For the 2016-2017 season the CISL encourages all racers to wear CE Certified Helmets (hard covering over the ears). For the 2017-2018 season all racers will be required to wear helmets that cover their head and ears and must have the CE sticker to race.

Thank you
