2014-15 Alpine U.S. Ski Team Nomination Criteria
Eligibility for Consideration: The USSA will consider for selection only those USSA members in
good standing who have a valid FIS license.
Further, an athlete shall be ineligible for consideration if previously suspended or removed from
team membership without having been reinstated by the USSA. Also, athletes who have
previously declined an offer of team membership shall not be automatically offered team
membership regardless of results achieved during the competition season unless that athlete
specifically requests consideration and the USSA Alpine Director and the Vice President of
Athletics approves the request.
Team status does not guarantee funding from the USSA for competition or preparation. Athletes
who have been given individual performance criteria to meet will be subject to those specific
criteria and not to general criteria as outlined below.
U.S. Ski Team nomination criteria recognize athletic achievements while focusing financial
support and resources on future athletic potential.
Athletes must demonstrate a capability to adhere to the USSA Values and Code of Conduct in
order to be eligible for nomination.
