Equipment Policy
All ski jumping and Nordic combined equipment is on loan to those athletes in good standing and remains the property of the National Training Centre. In order to be eligible to access equipment, athletes must abide by the following rules:
1. All athletes must respect their equipment and return it to their coach at the end of each season in a condition similar to when it was received.
2. All equipment must be maintained within the high standards set by the coaching staff.
3. Athletes are forbidden from selling, trading, lending or otherwise claiming NTC equipment as their personal property.
4. If any equipment is damaged or not working properly, it is the athlete’s responsibility to bring the deficiency to the coach’s immediate attention.
5. If equipment is abused or misused at any time throughout the season, the coaching staff may revoke the athlete’s right to use that equipment without a refund or replacement, or replace the equipment with equipment of a lesser quality.
6. All equipment must be returned immediately to the coaching staff upon request of the coaching staff.
7. Athletes are responsible for purchasing their own wax and waxing supplies.
8. For all other activities (i.e.: mountain biking, inline skating etc), athletes are responsible to arrange for their own equipment needs, including a helmet, which is mandatory for most activities.
9. Ski Hoppers returning for a second winter season must supply their own cross-country ski equipment.
10. When retiring, athletes must return all equipment provided to them except equipment paid for by or on behalf of an athlete.
11. For equipment purchased or supplied through the National Training Centre, equipment fees will be collected to offset a portion of the cost of the equipment. Coaches will inform parents of the amount to be collected as well as the code under which the payment is made to CODA.
