Fees and Registration for the 2017-2018 Season

We currently have 106 athletes in grades 7 through 12 registered to ski with the Mpls Alpine Ski Team for the 20-17-18 season. Unfortunately we are unable to accept any additional athletes for the 2017-18 season.    This is the largest team in our 18 year history.  The first step of the registration process was to register with MAST.  All of you who are registered with MAST have complete Step One.   The second step is to register with your high school athletic director.  Read and follow the instructions below to learn more about how to register with your high school athletic director.  Please complete this process by October 22.   If you have questions, please call or email Mark Conway at 612-275-8392 or markrobertconway58@gmail.com.

The deadline to pay for a 2017-18 Hyland Season Pass at the $400 rate is October 19.  Please make checks payable to Mpls Alpine Ski Team and send to:
Mpls Alpine Ski Team
4800 Harriet Ave. S.
Minneapolis, MN 55419 
REGISTER with Mpls Public Schools and the MN State High School League.
In addition to registering with MAST, you need to sign up for Alpine Skiing with your HIGH SCHOOL ATHLETIC DIRECTOR.    Some Athletic Directors will not accept Winter Sports Registrations until sometime in October.  Nonetheless, it is well worth the effort to get organized early so there are no surprises (i.e., discovering that your Sports Qualifying Physical Examination Form has expired).

In general, you will need to complete the following forms, some of which have multiple forms within them.  
If you played a fall sport in 2017 for your high school, you will only need to complete a NEW Emergency Contact Form (unless your Physical Exam form expires between the fall and winter season).  Complete this form and give it to your Athletic Director.

If you did NOT play a fall sport in 2017 and you are new to high school sports in MPS, you will need to complete ALL the forms.

If you have played a high school sport before, you will need to complete all the forms except the Sport Qualifying Physical Exam Form, unless that has expired.

Middle school students need to register with the high school that serves the attendance area in which you live (even if you don’t plan to attend that high school).  Complete all forms necessary and TURN THEM INTO YOUR HIGH SCHOOL ATHLETIC DIRECTOR.  Do not turn them into someone at your middle school.

A word about the Sports Qualifying Physical Exam form: This form needs to be completed by your physician or by a qualified clinician.   If you have a primary care doctor, know that most physician groups will fill out this form and get it back to you in a week as long as the student is not due for a physical exam.    Check with your clinic for their requirements.  If you do not have a physician or insurance, you can call 612-668-4333 to make an appointment for a free sports clearance physical exam.
 
The Sports Qualifying Physical Examination form is kept on file in the athletic office of your high school and is valid for three years.  So, if you submitted this form in seventh grade and you are now in tenth grade, the form is expired and you will need to complete and submit a new form.  
 
I WANT ALL RETURNING ATHLETES TO GO TO YOUR AD AND ASK HIM/HER ABOUT THE STATUS OF YOUR SPORTS QUALIFYING EXAM FORM SO THAT YOU ARE NOT SURPRISED WHEN THEY TELL YOU IT IS EXPIRED.
 
If you are a new MAST athlete, get this form TO your physician as soon as possible so that you can submit it to your AD LONG before the start of the season.  

Thank you for joining our team,

Please turn these forms no later than October 22.  The season begins November 13 so this will give each athletic director plenty of time to process your forms and clear you for participation.
