International Racer and staff are excited to announce our 2014
Sweden alpine training programs for FIS and U16 athletes

International Racer is now offering international alpine athletes the opportunity to join a dedicated and high volume slalom camp in Sweden, perfect for developing and refining skill for the upcoming winter. The purpose of having a single discipline camp is to that it allows the athlete to acquire, pattern and master the skills required to progress over a accelerated period


Kabdalis is the November training home of the Swedish and Austrian Europa Cup and World Cup teams (men & women) , as well as a number of other teams from around the world. We work very closely with the resort, and have complete flexibility over training times, and as such are able to design training days in the most beneficial ways for attending athletes:

Our Operational Director Luc Pelletier and Athletic Director Jeff Books have designed our programs based on their combined 30+ years of coaching experience in Europe , Canada , Chile and Australia/New Zealand .

International Racers programs are a systematic approach to skill and tactical development with proven results. 

 

International Racer coaches believe in building fit, strong athletes and developing accurate alpine skills, tactics, muscle memory and mental toughness in order to realize ones maximum potential.

Professional Programs

 

International racer has been operating junior and FIS level alpine camps for many years since 2003, in Australia, Canada and Europe. And now we offer athletes to improve their SL skills with a dedicated SL block in Sweden.

Our Sweden program is:

• A high volume SL camp for serious athletes
• Focused on long term development…no short cuts
• A holistic program focused on the development of the whole athlete

Athletes in our programs make excellent personal improvements. We manage all the logistics to enable our athletes to maximize their training.

Training Focus

The focus of the Kabdalis Sweden camp is on the development, patterning, and mastering of the technical and tactical skills for Slalom within brushes, stubbies and gates

Spending

Once on the ground in Sweden, athletes will have very predictable expenditures.
As meals are included with the program, athlete spending should be relatively low, barring a little bit of horse back riding, a sight seeing trip or two, meals whilst in transit, and possibly a few souvenirs.

Credit Cards & Eftpos (debit ) Cards

• Credit cards will work, however each transaction will be subject to an international surcharge. Be sure to check with your financial institution for the specifics. It is a good idea to have a well defined spending limit for your attending athlete(s).

• Foreign debit card will work in Swedish ATM’s, however will not work at the point of sale. A surcharge will apply to each transaction.

• Please be sure that the card(s) your athlete takes over is set up for international withdrawals.

Communications

Mobile Phones

Mobile phones will work fine in Sweden, however it is best to avoid international calls (outgoing as well as incoming) on the mobile phones unless absolutely necessary due to the high costs of international charges on mobile phones.

Skype

Skype is a great alternative to using land lines. Visit www.skype.com for more information to set up an account if you don’t have one already.

Phone Cards

We recommend that you purchase a phone card for calling home. Phone cards are available at most convenience stores; they are very affordable, easy to use and generally feature good sound quality. The use of phone cards will also make it cheaper for the recipients of international calls in Canada...don’t forget that in Canada, you pay for incoming as well as outgoing calls on your mobile.

Internet

* High speed internet is available in the restaurant.
