The ALCAN Nancy Greene Ski League is the "FUNdamental" stage in ski racing for children between 4 - 12 years of age. During this time they will be introduced to basic skiing techniques and skills, develop the ABC's (agility, balance, coordination, strength /speed) in as many different snow conditions and terrain as possible and most of all have fun on skis. Each year the children participate within their club or at a provincial level in team and individual competitions. These events encourage new friendships in a fun and friendly environment while demonstrating the skills developed in the Alcan Nancy Greene Ski League.

The Snow Stars program - a seven step skills progression program for children at this age level - supplements the Alcan Nancy Greene Ski League and offers a fun version to learning the skills of skiing and eventually ski racing. The Snow Stars program is delivered to all BC clubs in the form of the following: Coaches Manual, Parents Handbook, Stickers and Report Cards, National Team Trading Cards, National Team Annual Poster.

Helmets with spoilers or edges that stick out are not permitted. Certain helmets must show a smooth top surface for safety reasons. Helmets used in FIS Snowsports shall be specifically designed and manufactured for the respective discipline and shall bear a CE mark and conform to recognized and appropriate standards such as CEE 1077 or US 2040, ASTM F2040, SNELL S98 or RS 98, etc. Soft ear protections are only allowed for SL (slalom) events.
