Alpine Ski Race Programmes
We have several programmes designed to give you flexibility and to suit the individuals goals for athletes and parents. These programmes run from October through to April. Depending on the programme, there is a tiered discount for booking additional weeks in the summer and winter. We also offer sibling discounts when your family signs up to Excel. We also offer open camps throughout the summer and taster weeks.
Academy Programmes
Full-Time
Our 21- and 16-Week Full-Time Programmes are designed for those pursuing ski racing to the highest level. Whether targeting National Team selection or breakthrough international results, these programmes are built for athletes who are ready to commit fully to their development. Whilst our educational support ensures athletes continue to achieve the highest awards in theirs GCSEs, A-Levels or Highers.
Part-Time
The 8-Week Core and 12-Week Enhanced Programmes are for talented, motivated athletes balancing ski racing alongside academic studies or other sporting commitments. These programmes deliver high-quality coaching and a meaningful race calendar, carefully structured to fit around life outside the sport — without compromising on development or results.
Flexible
For enthusiastic, up-and-coming athletes who are taking their exciting first steps into the world of competitive ski racing and want a taste of the Excel experience. Athletes can pick and choose which weeks to attend throughout the year. They can choose to "Live-in" alongside their teammates or "Live-out" with their family.
Training Groups
U10 - U16 Team
Our U10–U16 programme is grounded in long-term athlete development, with training across Slalom and Giant Slalom and speed discipline exposure introduced at the right time. Small group sizes allow for highly personalised coaching, backed by modern sport science. Away from the race course, free skiing, powder, and the jump park build technical skills and confidence. Race opportunities span GBR BASS-registered events, our own Aurora Cup in Norway, and FIS Children's races across Europe. From equipment preparation to mental performance and physical conditioning, athletes are introduced to every pillar of competitive ski racing — all within a programme where fun and a genuine love for the sport always come first.
FIS Team (U18+)
Our FIS Team is designed for athletes competing at international level, developing across all technical disciplines and speed events within a structured race calendar of around 35 FIS races per season, including British, Home Nations, and European Championships. Where athletes meet the criteria, we actively support pathways to National Team selection, EYOF, YOG, and World Junior Championships. Every FIS athlete has access to our High Performance Gym, precision tuning facilities, physiotherapy, Brower timing, Dartfish video analysis, and an individually tailored performance plan.
