High Performance Athletes

At TSC, we take immense pride in our U16 Ocup program. Every year, we work diligently to prepare our athletes for the international level known as FIS (Federation International de Ski). With our help, these High-Performance athletes embark on a journey to enhance their world ranking, eventually qualifying for the Ontario Provincial Team and even the National Team.

Our program demands nothing less than 100 percent commitment from the athletes. They must undergo rigorous on-snow and dryland training to take their skiing skills to the next level. But the rewards are worth it. Our athletes have the opportunity to compete at the highest level, and in recognition of their dedication, TSC offers a bursary and waives the annual dues while they continue to compete.

Join us at TSC and let us help you achieve your skiing dreams.
