COACHES

FACILITATORS OF THE RAD

Junior athletes are the foundation of the IFSA, and every one of them partners with a credentialed coach, whether that be through an established freeride club, or independently.  We believe that strong coaches are essential for the safety, success, and progression of the sport.
