Luge 101

The White Castle USA Luge Slider Search is the official nationwide athlete recruitment tour of USA Luge, targeting young athletes, ages 10-13. The mission of this grass-roots program, established in 1985, is to identify, train and qualify young athletes for the USA Luge Junior Development Team. Athletes who may progress through the team development ladder have hopes of one-day becoming members of the National and Olympic Luge Teams.

Team coaches and athletes will be scouting each event for young athletes who show potential. These youngsters may be invited to participate in screening camps at a USA Luge training facility in Lake Placid, N.Y. or Park City, Utah.

The USA Luge Fantasy Camp offers its participants an opportunity to experience the thrill of being a world class luge athlete. The coaching staff, made up of Olympic and World Cup medal winners, offers its expertise to help fully experience the sport of luge with an emphasis on fun and safety. The camps provide you with a one-of-a-kind opportunity for corporate outings, team building, thanking top employees or rewarding loyal customers.

This is your chance to get an exclusive tour of the USA Luge Indoor Start Training Facility. Tours include a ride down the ramp.
