WELCOME TO THE 2024/25 SEASON!
The USASA membership year is from July 1st until June 30th. Age groups are determined by the age of the competitor on December 31st of the first year of the current season.
Rascals - USASA supports the latest in sports science and philosophy in line with the US Ski & Snowboard Training Systems model to allow our youngest members more time to have fun regionally and develop as young competitors. The Rascals age group regional event structure is focused on fun and inclusion. When Rascals become Ruggies they will then be eligible to gain regional/national rankings points and attempt to qualify for entry into the USASA National Championships.
Events for ages 6 & under will take place within the existing USASA regional competition structure and will only be available for regional results.
Rascals competitors are not eligible to compete at the USASA National Championships.
