Welcome to the World Cup Club
What is the World Cup Club?
The WCC is a Trust created to raise funds on an annual basis to reduce the cost burdens on Ontario amateur alpine ski racers aged 6 years and up. The funds give these competitors the training time and resources necessary to compete against the other provinces and countries that have government support and geographic advantages compared to Ontario. Thirty years ago Ontario skiers dominated the National Team and International events, we have fallen behind and hope with help from the WCC Ontario can return to the top levels of skiing in Canada.
What are the funds from the WCC intended for?
The WCC funds are intended for projects that will help reduce the cost of racing and give Ontario athletes an advantage including:
• Sport Science
• Development Camps
• Scholastic support
• Demonstration Camps and races for younger aged racers with Ontario and National team members.
• Coaching resources
• Bursaries for athletes (based on a confidential means test)
