Important Details
USSA Licences: Are required for all SVSEF participants for insurance purposes. Team members will not be allowed to attend practices without having a USSA membership. Visit USSA.com for online registration. Youth Nordic membership is $60.
- Communication: In an effort to reduce waste, we communicate mostly through email and this web site. Please check this page periodically for sign-ups for various activities and important information.
Dry-land usually lasts about a month. Please prepare for varied weather and for active outdoor fun and games! Running shoes, light jackets, workout clothing (suitable for running, jumping, tearing around in the sage brush advised), water bottle and water bottle holder if at all possible for our longer hikes/runs, hats & light gloves.
On snow: Once skiing starts, (typically around 1st week of Dec.) team members will need non-cotton outerwear (team ski pants/jackets will be available for purchase soon), water bottle & holder, hats & gloves. We’ve found “lobster” gloves work best in the x-co pole straps! Alpine gloves do not work as well as kids can’t get their hands through the straps.
Your child will need a full set of Skate skiing gear for the season - and a pair of classic poles:
Specifically: Skate skis that come to the top of your childs’ head. Skate poles that reach their mouth. Classic ski poles that are very snug under the armpit. We are happy to provide Classic skis for your child to use. The Elephants’ Perch, Backwoods and Sturetvant’s all offer lease packages around $150.00 for the season.
Please make sure all is clearly labeled with name!
