Devos History
If you were to take a wayback machine......waaaaaaayyyyy back to when some of today's JSC coaches were Mitey Mites; you would find that there was Mitey Mites and there was Juniors but not a whole lot in between. As a ski racer you sort of just went from Mitey Mites and were thrown in to training with Juniors and raced within your age-group. Super intimidating, not super helpful, and definitely not as safe.
Somewhere along the way about 25 years ago, someone figured out that 10 and up is a crucial time for young athletes to be inspired, comfortable, and have their natural growth and DEVelOpment in Ski racing focused, guided, and harnessed. Once Devos became a program with the Juneau Ski Club, it was obvious that it was a crucial program to ensure our JSC Athletes get all the confidence they need to progress to the Juniors program.
