The Senders Programs

The Senders programs are designed to take you to the next level.  We have a history of helping to put team members who have the talent and drive and committed support system, through to the top level internationally.

​

We have a choice of multiple program options available at our home locations, all the way up to customized programs traveling to compete nationally for our most advanced and elite participants.  Participants are split into programs options and groups based on ability, from beginner to advanced.  Participants progress through the programs to work with more experienced coaches and join more experienced riders as their skills develop accordingly.  

Our priority based learning includes building strong foundational skills and progressing in a safe and confident manner.

WHAT PROGRAM IS RIGHT FOR ME?

Our programs are only a good fit for Snowboarders who are obsessed with the terrain park.  It's important to also assess your current ability before signing up to a program.  For example, a beginner park rider won't do well riding for a full day.  They may become far more vulnerable to injury later in the day, as all the minor and major muscle groups and movements have not been fully developed yet to help maintain control and avoid injuries.  Likewise a more advanced rider will struggle if they are in a group where the rest of the group is significantly lower level than they are.  This is the benefit of our programs for our participants running from beginner through to elite.  It allows us to give everyone a shot to develop based on being a part of a group, where there will always be riders at a similar level, going through similar skills and assigned to coaches who are a good fit for working with that level of participant.  It's important to look at where your current entry level is best described from the following 5 different levels and options;

1.Park Labs (MSLM Only) - Riders who are new to a terrain park environment and are still learning how to clear jumps and basic features.  Park Labs year one participants have a shorter training day, as they are still getting used to the rigours of riding park and can focus over the shorter time frame.

​

2. Park Labs Year 2 (MSLM Only) - Riders who have moved up from the beginner stage and are now confidently riding all features in the beginner park and are now dabbling in the Intermediate level Parks.  Year 2 park labs participants will be able to compete in local series events.

​

3. Intermediate - Riders who are hitting and starting to spin over medium jumps in the terrain park, using most rails in the intermediate park and occasionally riding the largest terrain and big features.  Riders usually begin basic inverts at this level.

​

4. Advanced - Riders who are getting comfortable over the largest jumps and more advanced rails in the terrain park.  They are spinning and flipping up to 720 and 900.

5. Elite (High Performance) - Elite riders are spinning and flipping over the largest features, have a group of single inverts on the way and are usually looking to working on double inverted manoeuvres.  Riders at this level need to be traveling and training outside of Ontario, as our winter features are not large enough to train at this level safely.  Riders at this level will have the opportunity to compete on a national level tour.
