For children who are new to MYSL, assign child to the lowest skill level that spans their age as of Jan 1. If a child has skiied at least 10 times, consider advancing them one skill level. It is common for kids to repeat skill levels, so returning families need to choose a skill level based on last season's performance, but still staying within the age ranges. Coaches will asses children at the first meeting, but it is important for parents to accurately assign levels by age during the registraiton process.
