2011-12 New Club Drive

New clubs are always welcome, with or without the option of ski equipment.

MYSL will be providing startup ski equipment for new clubs.

Potential new clubs must apply through the MYSL to be eligible. Each new club would be supplied with approximately 12 pairs of skis/boots/poles.

MYSL charges a skier registration fee (scholarships are available). And there is also an equipment rental fee per skier that is put into a dedicated fund for your club.

BASIC CRITERIA

• Potential for 12 skiers.
• Sufficient volunteer coaches and a designated Leader.
• Ski rentals (of sufficient quality and affordability) not available at your location.
