Water Ramp Update

19 Jul 2023 by Gregg Quinn

Hi All
With the announcement of AUSMSA discontinuing we’d like to announce that NSW Freestyle will be taking over providing water ramp training post this domestic season for the remainder of 2023/2024. This will run in a very similar format and program to how water ramp has been conducted in previous years, just under a different banner.

We’ve pencilled in two 3 week blocks, one starting around end of September into the school holidays, and another in November. We’re waiting to gauge demand, and confirmation from Snow Australia on dates before locking dates in. The format will be as previous years, with a morning jumping block followed by afternoon S&C activity (strength, cardio, recovery), targeted towards Internationally competing FIS athletes, but open to everyone. The schedule would mirror the PWSC schedule with Monday’s and Thursdays off.

Ethan Topalovic will be the lead coach over this time period with extra coaches brought in as needed.

We would also like to gauge interest in intensive 4 day “Youth Water Ramp” blocks over the October School Holidays targeted at our youth and FIS dev athletes, or those with less water ramp experience or shorter time availability.

We believe these athletes will gain more out of spending all day at the ramps jumping two sessions, rather than a morning jump then afternoon strength and conditioning activity. The format would involve a later start so isn’t quite as cold, with warm up followed by a jumping session, have lunch at the ramps, then a second ramping session. Trampoline, stretching, physical literacy games would be included around jumping sessions all held at the ramp facility (weather dependent).

You could do multiple 4 day blocks if you want, or do a 4 day block then do extra days under the FIS schedule.

If you could please fill out this survey so we can start gauging demand then move forward with locking in dates and coaches.

Pricing to be confirmed but will be inline with previous years.

Please fill in this survey so we can better meet your needs. https://forms.gle/fgVvRj1hg1QwgL2o8
