Alberta Development Group Initiative
Horizontal and vertical integration is key for our athletes success. As such AASA alongside our club partners have implemented the formation of the Alberta Development Group (ADG). The purpose of this initiative is to create a more formalized & identified group of club FIS athletes in order to provide targeted integration opportunities for them. These opportunities are meant to supplement and add value to their pre-existing club programming. We have had this integration with the AST informally and sporadically over the years and it is time to provide a formalized path for all. This group is intended to be an open cohort that athletes can ski into during the season based on performance metrics. Over the summer club head coaches and PD’s will be working together to determine how we move athletes into this group over the course of the winter season. In the meantime please help us congratulate the following athletes for being nominated by their clubs and AASA to be part of the first inaugural Alberta Development group.
