It’s a lot of work to run a ski team. 

 

We can do it but we need your help.

Check out the volunteer page.

Don’t forget to pay your Team Booster Fee?

 

The team fee is collected by the South Anchorage XC Skiing Boosters.  It is used to pay for wax, wax benches, Regions Barbecue, awards, post-season Banquet, Spaghetti Feed paper supplies, Race Tent, other equipment and much more.  We are asking for

$40 per skier

but you are always welcome to give more to the team! 

 

Make checks payable to

South XC Boosters.

SAHSXC@hotmail.com

 

We’ll post your request on the web.

 

To arrange a carpool please contact the interested families listed on the link below.

Carpooling 

 

As soon as the snow flies the team will have a bus to get kids to practice and then back to South after practice.  So you don’t have to arrange a carpool to practice.  (Unless something changes – in which case we’ll let you know.)  The carpool needs would be home from South after practice.  Typically about 3:45 before the snow flies and around 5:00 after we get snow – but check the hotline to confirm when practice is over

Before attending practice all skiers must complete and turn in to the activities office:

1. Physical Exam Form

2. Sport/Athletic Participation Form

3. Activities Fee paid to South Activities Office $160 (waiver available)

4. Watch the Play For Keeps Video

5. Sign the Play For Keeps Acknowledgement Form

 

You also need to complete and turn in to a coach:

1. Your contact information sheet.

2. Your $40 booster fee

3. Your Team Contract

4. The yellow copy of the Athletic Participation Form

Terms & Definitions

 

The coaches like to get to the Venue early.  But that means we need parent chaperones to ride on the bus from South to the race.  It’s an easy (and warm!!!!) job.  You also get to help pass out bibs.  Great way to meet your skiers teammates.  Sign up now.
