SkiJapan Junior Training Academy

The team at Ski Japan Junior Training Academy (SJTA) are motivated by the evolution of the competitive ski and board scene. We believe that challenging the next generation of athlete is the key. Our success with this passion has come from developing progressive camps that are fun, safe and challenging in specific disciplines such as GS, Moguls, Skier/Boardercross and Slopestyle.

Objectives

Now entering its 7th year of operation the purpose of these camps is to prepare aspiring junior skiers/boarders aged 7 – 18 years for success at Interschools & SSA competitions.

We organise structured 5 & 6 day camps that run from December to April. Each camp is run by the professional team at Niseko Base Snowsports and is designed to encompass all aspects of ski and snowboard competition. Whilst the main base of operations is Niseko we assess the daily conditions and select from a number of local resorts including Niseko, Moiwa and Rusutsu. We can customise special programs for school groups.

Camp Inclusions

SkiJapan.com can organise fully inclusive packages, airfares, ski rental & other activities for the family can be arranged (ski-in/ski-out accommodation).

SJTA is an excellent training environment for our Snowsports athletes to hone their competitive skills in the best snow in the world. SJTA coaching staff are professional and very friendly.

We found the SJTA program’s balance of fun and serious training perfect for our Snowsports team and helped us gain a competitive edge at Interschools; these experiences for our kids in Japan are priceless.
