Baller rico Posted April 16, 2021 Baller Share Posted April 16, 2021 Unfortunately, No AATA Junior Development due to Covid-19. Each Lake in the area may hold their own unofficial private Junior Development days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skibabette Posted April 17, 2021 Author Share Posted April 17, 2021 @Horton so can I just send Austin your way and you and Bob can do your own mini Jr. Development with him and Buford Danger? Fair warning: at 6 he thinks he knows all he needs to know about skiing. @skioholic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller_ lpskier Posted April 17, 2021 Baller_ Share Posted April 17, 2021 No Jr Development due to Covid in 2021???WTF? I’m in the tower at my third Florida tournament of the year. There’s an article in yesterday’s news that outdoors events are not only not super spreaders, they are actually reasonably safe. Okay, it’s Fox News; MSNBC/CNN may differ. But the article quotes the Washington Post. Lpskier Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller_ Jody_Seal Posted April 17, 2021 Baller_ Share Posted April 17, 2021 @lpskier florida is a successful state in this pandemic, California not at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller jcamp Posted April 17, 2021 Baller Share Posted April 17, 2021 @Jody_Seal Not if your measurement of "success" is deaths per capita. Florida has had more than California. And that's even with a big assist from humidity. Florida should be much lower in deaths and infection rates given its warmer, more humid weather.

Skibabette Posted April 17, 2021 Author Share Posted April 17, 2021 WTF, I asked if Jr. Development was going to happen, not for your opinions on COVID-19. Please stop. It’s not helpful and nobody is going to change anyone else’s mind on COVID-19. If I wanted to see these arguments I’d go on Facebook. ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Horton Posted April 17, 2021 Administrators Share Posted April 17, 2021 @Skibabette THANK YOU for telling the guys to behave. I will likely do some dort of Jr Dev thing at my house in July. I do not have dates or details.

Baller_ Jody_Seal Posted April 17, 2021 Baller_ Share Posted April 17, 2021 @Skibabette Maybe try with to find a way of getting virtual training, its a good time to teach these juniors the rules of the sport. Maybe a video from their practice sent to a coaching group online on a given day online. maybe incouragement by you and other parents to find alternatives for the Jr development cordenators to work around. Junior programs should continue in some fashion or another. Having been a Junior development cordenator my self I know these types of challenges can be over come or adapted..

Baller NikolG Posted April 18, 2021 Baller Share Posted April 18, 2021 California had the Best of the West Junior Development last year in June and again this year. It’s up to the AATA (Arvin Area Tournament Association) organizers I would guess. Arvin area lakes are hosting 10 tournaments this year. Seems like business as usual. There won’t be skiers to hold tournaments in the future if JD falls to the wayside. Best bet is to let them know you are willing to volunteer to make it happen.

Baller ColeGiacopuzzi Posted April 19, 2021 Baller Share Posted April 19, 2021 @NikolG is 100% right, tournaments are set for this summer. The reason Jr Dev. In Arvin hasn’t been planned yet is Ski West didn’t want to host this year because of COVID due to the gigantic turn out they get. It will pick back up in 2022 as usual. So as of now it’s in limbo for 2021. Radar Skis Follow Instagram Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skibabette Posted April 21, 2021 Author Share Posted April 21, 2021 @NikolG do you have dates and/or contact info for the Best of the West Junior Development? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller NikolG Posted April 21, 2021 Baller Share Posted April 21, 2021 So it is for upper division skiers in the West and they send invites based on the ranking list. You can contact Tim Vaio for more info. Tvaio@mindspring.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
