Sandpoint Nordic Club
Youth Ski Team Registration 2020

Sandpoint Nordic Ski Club's Youth Recreational Ski Team is a fun 8-week program that offers kids from 6 to 18 years old the opportunity to learn and enjoy cross-country skiing. Coaches and adult volunteers lead groups of kids in activities designed to teach the fundamentals of Nordic (cross-country) skiing, from fun on the snow for the youngest skiers, to technique and even racing for more experienced skiers. Younger skiers under age 6 are welcome to join but must be accompanied by an adult or parent during the ski session (there is no program fee for kids under 6). Season rentals are available at a discounted rate for ski team participants. Registration and more program information is available online at SandpointNordic.com. Register by Dec. 10 to avoid a $30 late registration fee.

Youth Sports Jersey Recycling Program

Have your kids outgrown their red and white youth league jerseys? Put them to great use by donating laundered, gently used jerseys back to Sandpoint Parks and Recreation. Each year, Sandpoint's P&R gives out approximately $2,000 in scholarships to youth programs, generously donated by various organizations. That money covers jersey costs as well as program fees - unless we have previously used, donated jerseys we can offer those who can't afford to purchase them. Help keep more money in the scholarship fund for kids to access for recreation program fees by donating jerseys when your children finishes the youth leagues.

- Drop off your jerseys from 8 a.m. until 5 p.m., Monday through Friday, at Sandpoint P&R, 1123 Lake St. in City Hall. Questions? Call 208-263-3613. Thanks!
