The Holiday Valley races uses Team Snap for team communication.
If you don’t know who your child’s coach is, either select the Head Coach for your child’s age group or Miguel Azcarate, the Program Director, and he will forward your request to the proper coach.

Tips to improve your visit to The Holiday Valley Training Center:
Get your season passes before the first day of training.
Show up early for the first few visits, until you are comfortable with the schedule.
Contact Miguel, the Program Director, at 716-633-2345 ext. 4414 with any pre-season questions.
Get a locker for your child’s equipment at the Training Center. This saves parents from hauling equipment and also saves wear on equipment.
