Kids can track their kilometers throughout the season to earn kilometer awards. We have made some adjustments this year to the awards, owing to Covid and the fact that we are not having a year-end banquet. When possible, awards will be distributed through the clubs. Kilometers can be tracked through March 14th.

Here's how to make SkiSparks registration simple!
Every skier must bring the equipment listed below to every club meeting.
MYSL is a volunteer run organization. We are always looking for club leaders and coaches. The larger league has needs as well! If any of these volunteer roles interest you, please contact amy@mysl.org.
The Minnesota Youth Ski League has been introducing young skiers to rollerskiing through our Skiwerx: Ski for Sport program for almost a decade. More information on Skiwerx, can be found here. We provide rollerskis for our spring, summer and fall programs.

Does your skier have the right clothing?
Age 0-5 no taller than child
Age 6-8 child's height
Age 9-12 10cm taller than child
We don't recommend that children skate before age 9.
See our full sizing chart as a pdf below.
See SkiSparks Skill Levels. You can edit your children's skill level in the "Household Info" section of the registration process (even after you register). It would be very unusual to go out of the suggested age-ranges and many children stay in a level for more than one season. Peer groupings of similar age are often more important than specfic skiing ability, except in the case of an older beginner (age 11-14). If your skier has never skied before and is 11+, please register for level 3.
The MYSL is a league of clubs around the midwest that meet weekly in the winter (usually eight times) for skiing activities based on a curriculum with six skill levels. Clubs provide community and exposure to like-minded families and are "more than just lessons". Coaches are volunteers (mostly parents) and all of the local club functions (leadership, bib and snack organization, for example) are performed by volunteers.
New members recieve the famous MYSL fleece hat, and colored level-pins are given to all skiers at the end of each season.
