 Officials Training and Certification Pathway

Level I Officials Training Schedule

The Canadian Snowboard Federation (CSF) Officials Training Program is meant to help all individuals who volunteer time and expertise to snowboarding events and competitions in Ontario.

The purpose of the Officials Training Program is to provide snowboard officials with a greater understanding of the role they will assume during a competition and to introduce them to the rules of snowboard competition, the International Rules of Competition (IRC) of the Fédération International de Ski (FIS).

The CSF has a 3 Level Program to ensure officials will have the best opportunity to have all necessary knowledge & experience.
