MNC athletes and parents may have noticed the new rules mandating a USSA licence for racing in NENSA Eastern Cup Races. The official write-up can be seen here:
USSA Membership for Eastern Cups
For most MNC Juniors, the most reasonable option is the $15 “General” membership. This is all that is needed to race Eastern Cups all season. If an athlete qualifies for Junior Nationals, that $15 can count toward a $95 “Competitor” licence which is mandatory for that championship event.
When signing up, select the “Cross-Country General” option, not the U-16 Competitor option (even if the athlete in question is in the U-16 age group). This will ensure you are only charged $15. In the drop-down club menu, select “unaffiliated” for now (not Mount Mansfield Ski Club…that’s not us!).
Happy racing!
