WHAT WE DO
INTRODUCTION
Ambition Racing provides comprehensive academy programmes for athletes aged U10 through to European Cup level . We guide our skiers through their careers from grass roots to Youth Olympic & World Junior Championship and everything in between . The majority of our athletes compete internationally throughout all age groups, representing both the GB Snowsport National Ski Team & Team GB at Olympic level events. Ambition Racing is formed of 3 key aspects; Academic Programme, Alpine Programme, Pastoral Programme.
The Academic ProgramME
We provide a full academic & educational programme at Ambition Racing from November to April each year. Led by a team of passionate & enthusiastic teachers / tutors, the Ambition Racing structure enables student-athletes to progress in their academics whilst training in an alpine environment on a daily basis. Ambition student-athletes are guided through a minimum of 15 hours of academics each week, delivered at our local school in Leogang. Extra support sessions are also provided to fit around both training & competition periods, as & where required.
The Alpine ProgramME
Our alpine training programmes & facilities at Ambition are second to none. Structured through a variety of different commitment levels depending on age, o ur programmes consist of flexible , core and full-time options that can be tailored to suit the needs and development of each individual. Details of these programmes can be found within our proposal documents, requested through the Ambition "Apply" tab on this website.
The alpine training programmes are delivered from a number of destinations both domestically and overseas that include the use of snow halls, dry slopes, glaciers & southern hemisphere locations. Ambition Racing remains one of the few British programme options to have invested in their own academy base, the value of which, should not be underestimated. Haus Tirol is located in Leogang, Austria in the heart of the Pinzgau region, an hours drive from Salzburg airport and surrounded by world class training venues. O ur student-athletes benefit from this 'home from home' fromOctober to April each year . This facility was fully renovated in 2022, to offer state of the art functional fitness training spaces, comfortable bedrooms, fully ventilated & heated ski room as well as a new sauna and wellness area & athletes lounge.
The Pastoral ProgramME
Athlete safeguarding is at the forefront of everything we do at Ambition Racing. We want our student-athletes to be winners, to succeed, to strive for greatness but most of all we want them to be safe & secure in a happy & positive environment. At Ambition Racing, we have a full time houseparent living at the academy base, tasked with the welfare and wellbeing of our team & community. Any concerns or enquiries can always be sent to our safeguarding team at safeguarding@ambitionracing.co.uk, where they will be handled in a discreet and professional manner following our Snowsports Snowsafe policy.
