HOW DO THE FREEPORT SKI TEAM BOOSTERS PROVIDE SUPPORT?
The group organizes fundraisers to provide funds for the following:

food, and chaperoning). - Holiday Vacation Week Training Camp for the high school Nordic skiers; supplemental training clinics for
Alpine skiers. - An assistant Nordic coach position at the middle school.
- Supplemental uniforms and team clothing as needed

and bases, wax tables and wax for special meets. - To ensure that any RSU5 student who wants to be a member of either ski team does so regardless of
financial hardship. Please speak to the coach or Craig Sickels if assistance is needed.

each family contributes the fees* suggested; each new skier receives a team hat included with this.
