Last week, Sparta captured the spotlight at the 2025 NJISRA Year-End Coaches Banquet. I was incredibly honored to receive the "Ski Coach of the Year" award from my fellow coaches for the fourth year in a row. Even more exciting, both the Boys' and Girls' Sparta Ski Teams were recognized with the "Outstanding Sportsmanship" award. Congratulations to all Spartans!
Reflecting on one of our most remarkable seasons, the memories we created together far surpass any championship trophy. Our journey was truly unique, marked by personal growth and strong teamwork. We enjoyed numerous podium finishes, navigated some challenges, and shared countless unforgettable moments that will stay with us forever.
To all the racers, parents, and coaches, thank you for making this season truly memorable.
"Don't Just Ski. RACE!"
Coach Calafati
