Introduction
The Canadian Freestyle Ski Association is introducing a new membership fee structure beginning on June 1, 2011. The new structure is aligned with the CFSA’s Long Term Athlete Development Model and will simplify the licensing process. New athlete license levels have been introduced based on the CFSA’s flagship program CAN Freestyle. The following presentation outlines the changes made to the CFSA membership system and the new CFSA fees. Your Provincial Sport Organization may charge extra for some license levels; the PSO portion of the fees is not included in this presentation.
All Fees will have a 2.3% processing fee added at the time of registration.For further information, please contact Jonathan Dagostino at info@freestyleski.com or at 604-714-2233.
Why are we making these changes?
The changes are being to:
- Align the CFSA membership categories and events with LTAD principles and the CFSA LTAD Model through CAN Freestyle.
- Align membership categories with level of events.
- Create a uniform membership price across the country for athletes at the Fundamentals, Learn-to-Train and Train-to-Train stages in order to better promote our CAN Free Programs (applies to all PSOs except Quebec).
- Reduce the number of membership categories.
- Reduce the frequency of upgrades.
What are the new categories?
| OLD 2010-2011 Categories | NEW 2011-2012 Categories |

Implementing the CFSA LTAD Model
The new license categories correspond to the CFSA Long Term Athlete Development Model:
| 2011-2012 License Category | CFSA LTAD Phase |
|---|---|
|
Can Free 1&2 |
Fundamentals & Learn-to-Train |

Can Free 3 |
Train-to-Train |
|
Can Free 4 |
Learn-to-Compete & Train-to-Compete |
|
Can Free 5 |

CFSA License Categories Correspond to CFSA Can Free Programs & CFSA Events
The new CFSA license categories are aligned with the CFSA Can Free Programs and the CFSA Events and will make it easier for you determine what is the appropriate license to choose.
If you know your child is going to participate in a RBC Jumps & Bumps Program or similar entry-level club program, then you would choose the Can Free 1&2 license. If you are a club level athlete planning to compete at Canadian Series events in your home province only, but not NorAms or Canadian Series competition in another province, then you would choose Can Free 3. If you’re planning to compete in Canadian Series and NorAms and are a member of a provincial freestyle ski team, then you would choose the Can Free 4 License.
The following tables should help you choose the appropriate license.
