MAST Step One Registration Opens Saturday, October 10

Good Evening MAST Families:

Step One of the MAST Registration opens tomorrow.   Below is a link to the Registration Instructions on how to create a Sports Sign Up Account for your family (if you don't have one already) and how to register your athlete(s).  If you are a returning athlete, please use your existing SSU account to register.   Please follow the instructions carefully.

Caution: There are two places in the registration process where Sports Sign Up will offer you a service.  The first offer is to receive information about apparel through Squad Locker.  This is not a MAST venture.  You can uncheck the box here. The second is an offer to buy registration insurance of sorts.  You can decline this offer.  The captains are organizing apparel and will be notifying us when they are ready to start taking orders.

This year, we are giving all MAST families the opportunity to make an additional donation to MAST as part of registration.  We are grateful to Great Harvest Bread  Company (owned by MAST parents Steve and Gail Arnold) who are incentivizing donations to MAST with gift cards from their wonderful bakery.   For those who donate $50, you will receive a $5 gift card. For those who donate $100 or more, you will receive a $20 gift card.  Please consider making a donation over and above the requested team fee of $225 and the MPS Activity Fee of $75. Donations help us keep our suggested team fee low.   

One final note: we do have high levels of interest in the team this year.  Given our experience last year with 131 athletes (it was wonderful but we discovered that we cannot grow beyond this size without compromising quality), we will be closing registration at 130 athletes.  Anyone who wants to register after this point will be placed on a waiting list.  Please though, don't register unless you are certain that skiing with MAST is what you want to do this year.  
If you have questions about registration please give me a call.
