What is the best resource for information about SSRA?

Hands down, the SSRA website, www.gossra.org is the best resource for information. Email is used extensively as well. When critical information is communicated to you via email, a link to the pertinent page on the website is often provided. For up-to-the-minute training information, the SSRA training hotline is also an important tool to use.

What is the SSRA training hotline?

The training hotline is a recorded message indicating the training plans for the next day. The SSRA training hotline is part of the Mt. Spokane Ski and Snowboard Park voice mail system. The number is (509) 238-2220. Once you dial the number, you must enter the extension 303. The training hotline is updated by 5pm each day, for the following days activities.

How should I expect to be communicated with, as a parent?

If you are at the mountain on training days, you can expect to have easy access to talking to your child's coach each day at the meeting spot, during lunch, or after training. Off of the hill, primarily email is used. At times, and with urgent matters, you may be called.

Who should I contact first when I have a question or concern?

It is always best to talk to your child's coach first. If you are unable to resolve your concern, you can contact the head coach of your child's program. In addition, you may always contact Program Director, Chuck Holcomb with questions at chholcomb@hotmail.com or (509) 979-7499.

Will my child receive written evaluations?

Yes! Coaches provide athlete evaluations once-twice a year for all SSRA athletes. Evaluations are handed out to parents, unless the athlete is a Junior/FIS Junior. Junior/FIS Junior evaluations are given directly to the athletes in addition to parents. Evaluations are provided during mid-January and at the end of the season.

How can I provide feedback?

At any time, feel free to provide feedback to your coach, head coach or the Program Director. And whenever you have feedback AND a suggested solution...don't hold back, let us know! Also, a parent questionnaire will be provided on the website. You can print these off, fill them out and mail them, annonymously if you choose, to the SSRA P.O. Box.
