LAUNCH’s Coach Registration is a full‑day training ground for freestyle skiers and snowboarders, located in Barrie, Ontario. The program runs inside the LAUNCH facility and centers on trampoline and airbag progressions that let athletes rehearse flips, spins, and takeoffs in a controlled environment. Sessions offer up to four hours on the trampoline and up to four hours on the airbag during daytime sessions, with a shorter Twilight option for evening practice.
What makes this set‑up rare in Southern Ontario is its focus on coach‑led progression. Every group must be accompanied by a certified coach meeting Canada Snowboard and Freestyle Canada standards; instructors need Air 1 through Air 3 qualifications depending on the maneuvers they supervise. International coaches must show $10,000,000 liability insurance and groups may be held until their coach checks in at the Freestyle Ontario/Ontario Snowboard tent at the base of the airbag.
The facility itself is deliberately stripped of distraction: an artificial snow surface on a dry slope, high‑bounce trampolines, and a deep landing bag designed to soften inverted and off‑axis entries. Athletes inspect equipment with their coach before entering the drop‑in zone; skis or snowboards with cracked edges or delamination are refused. Waxing with paraffin or standard ski/snowboard wax is required to protect the surface.
Schedule options are precise: Session 1 runs a morning-to-early-afternoon block with designated trampoline-only and airbag windows, Session 2 mirrors that pattern in the afternoon, and Twilight concentrates access across an evening block. Clubs and teams can request private buyouts outside normal hours; organizers should contact [email protected] for rates and staffing.
Beyond the drills, LAUNCH matters because it bridges gym work and mountain reality. Coaches can build repetitions safely—air awareness on trampolines, then controlled entries on the airbag—so athletes arrive at snow with muscle memory for higher‑risk tricks. That progression reduces on‑hill crashes and speeds competitive development.
Practical notes: all Canadian athletes must hold current NSO/PTSA/PTSO licenses (annual licenses expire June 30), and coaches must carry the appropriate Air certifications. Bring a helmet, gloves, full‑coverage clothing, boots, and clean wax. Check-in is 30 minutes before your session at the base tent. For coach inquiries, liability questions, or to arrange special hours, email [email protected].
Whether you’re a club director plotting a preseason curriculum or an individual contender dialing in a new trick, the Coach Registration sessions are structured to maximize reps and minimize risk. Bring video capture devices and coordinate with your coach to schedule sequence drills and progressive loading. Parking and day logistics are handled on arrival through the base tent check-in; plan to arrive early to complete equipment checks and wax. Group inquiries and liability documentation requests should be sent to [email protected] well ahead of your session.
