These are held under
the jurisdiction of the International School Sport Federation (I.S.F.) and can
only be entered by National School Sports Associations in membership of the
National Council for School Sport (N.C.S.S.).
In most sports the National Associations are represented by 'Champion
Schools', but in the ski competitions held in alternate years there are different
rules for countries considered to be Lowland countries. England is a Lowland country and can
therefore be represented by a composite team of 10 girls and 10 boys, in two
age groups, drawn from different schools which have competed in the National
Championships. It is E.S.SKI A.’s
policy that Teams should be selected from the previous year’s Squad Training
groups.
E.S.SKI A. has sent
teams to the events held in Sweden (1985, 1989), France (1991), Canada (1993),
Italy (1995), Germany (1997), the Czech Republic(1999), France (2001) and
Austria (2003) and Sweden (2005). The event in 2007 will
take place in Andorra.
The whole ethos of ISF events is geared to teams. No individual entries are accepted, and no individual prizes are awarded.
The competitive sport is only part of an ISF event. Educational, cultural and friendly sporting activities all play an equal role within the main event. The ski races are team races; therefore, uniquely, skiers must subsume their personal interests to those of the team.
