Join XCSO for its monthly Community Update
December 20 at 12:00 pm and 8:00 pm.
December focus: Unwrapping the Ontario Excellence Programs
These programs are about far more than XCSO’s race team criteria. They are about capacity building at the club level.
In alignment with its 2023-2028 Strategic Plan, Cross Country Ski Ontario (XCSO) supports the pursuit of excellence whether you are an athlete, coach, official, wax technician, or event host. We are committed to ensuring that Ontario clubs, athletes, coaches, wax technicians, volunteers and officials are consistently recognized as among Canada’s best. Our objectives include developing more clubs that provide quality, intentional, and consistent daily training environments; developing more clubs capable of hosting Ontario Cup races; and supporting athletes, coaches, technicians and officials in their pursuit of excellence within effective development pathways.
Come to the December Community Update to learn how your club can be involved in this exciting programming.
