What is FAST?
What is FAST?
The Franklin Alpine Ski Team (FAST) is a Co-Op Alpine ski racing team anchored by Wauwatosa East/West. The Co-Op includes students from Wauwatosa East, Wauwatosa West, Franklin High School, Oak Creek High School, Greendale High School and Homeschool students from these communities. Middle School students from these schools are also invited to practice with the team (not compete). We compete with the Midwest High School Ski Conference which includes 28 teams from the greater Milwaukee area.
We accept novice to expert level skiers. Racing experience is not required. Practices are bi-weekly and there are 6 races during the competition season; three slalom events and three giant slalom events. Early season practices begin with stance, balance and carving skills and then progress to running slalom and giant slalom courses. Focus points include racing technique, tactics, course inspection, sports psychology and FUN!
