About MYSL

The Minnesota Youth Ski League (MYSL) is a non-profit Minnesota Corporation as defined under IRS rule 501(c)3. The MYSL provides membership and instruction to all youth without regard to race, creed, color, or athletic ability.

Mission and vision Statement

The Minnesota Youth Ski League (MYSL) is a volunteer organization that offers children between the ages of 4 and 14 and their parents the opportunity to learn, develop and enjoy cross country skiing skills together. The League is a collection of neighborhood clubs, administered by a Board of Directors, offering leader training, festivals, and outreach programs which builds interest in cross country skiing. The Ski League clubs meet in many locations in the Twin Cities metropolitan area, greater Minnesota and Wisconsin for approximately eight weeks beginning in December or January. Programs emphasize fun, fitness and development of a life-long love for outdoor activities, (especially cross country skiing!), as the primary focus of this family organization. Parents are strongly encouraged to come and participate with their children. Skiers of all skill levels are welcome. Children must have their own equipment, though there is equipment rental available through some MYSL clubs and at many MYSL club locations.

Mission:

The Minnesota Youth Ski League (MYSL) is a club-based organization that offers youth and their families the opportunity to learn, develop skills and enjoy cross-country skiing together.

Vision:

The Minnesota Youth Ski League (MYSL) is synonymous with youth skiing. We are leaders in the XC skiing community at large, actively involved in all issues related to skiing.

We do this through:

Continuous growth and improved retention
Using a dynamic curriculum
Training all coaches in basic skills, with additional coach development available
Providing families with a choice of defined skill development paths, depending on their goals
Creating and maintaining infrastructure that supports networking in all directions: e.g. coach-to-coach, club-to-club, membership-to-Board, etc...

History:

The Minnesota Youth Ski League has a strong foundation of teaching kids to ski for 25 years and dreams for future expansion.
