How can U19 athletes combine training and school?
U19 · Schooling and housing
Athletes need an adapted or online academic pathway, or to have completed school. Families may choose their own school solution. Ski Zenit can help explore suitable online or in-person education partners; admission and schedule adaptations are handled with the school.
Housing options depend on the arrangement and may include the athlete chalet, school boarding or the family’s own accommodation. Confirm school and housing availability individually.
How does admission to the Zenit Ski Team work?
U19 · Admission and racing
The assessment includes an interview and goals discussion, racing videos, a previous-coach report, motivation letter, CV, registration details and a local physical screening. Athletes also supply health-related preparation questionnaires and information about their academic pathway and target-team qualification criteria.
Athletes must belong to a club and national ski association and have appropriate cover. Race entries are arranged through the athlete’s club and national association and depend on national quotas. See the full admission process.
