About Us

Based in Radstadt, Austria, the Team Evolution programme is designed for athletes looking to work within a professional structure dedicated to their development, both on and off the slopes. We provide professional alpine race training and educational support for student-athletes looking to achieve both athletic and educational success.

Team Evolution has continuously been the programme of choice for developing some of Britain’s best alpine ski racers, for more than a decade. Throughout this time, athletes on the programme have gone on to achieve countless National titles, competed at the Olympic Games, on the World Cup, World Championships, World Junior Championships and at the Youth Olympic Games. Our trainees have continually achieved great success across the globe, all whilst achieving consistently high educational grades thanks to the support of the Team Evolution educational programme. Alumni have gone on to work in the medical, legal, veterinary and business industries thanks in no small the support they received during their time at the academy.
