For sports, participants must be 18 or older. Exceptions may be made on a case by case basis subject to the discretion of the BSSC Program Manager.

For social, travel, ski racing, ski weekend and ski vacation activities, participants must be 21 or older. Exceptions may be made on a case by case basis subject to the discretion of the BSSC Program Manager.

For ski day trips, minors age 13 and under must be accompanied by a parent/legal guardian.  Minors age 14-17 must be accompanied by a parent/legal guardian or an adult chaperone.  All minors must turn in a completed Parental Consent Form to the trip leader at the bus and have on their person the "Minor Identification and Emergency Contact" Form.  Any minors age 14-17 who are with a non-parent adult chaperone will also need to have on their person the "Medical Information and Authorization" Form. All forms can be found in the Parental Consent Form section below.

For all activities, you are responsible to judge your own ability to participate in an activity based on your own physical capabilities and endurance, the weather, conditions, and anything else pertaining to the activity.  If there is a BSSC escort or on-site representative, their only responsibility is to ascertain to the best of their abilities that the features and logistics of the activity are appropriately carried out. Their participation does not indicate that the activity is safe or suitable for you.

Boston Ski & Sports Club also reserves the right to disallow your participation if you do not have the required safety gear. Refer to specific leagues and activities for further detail.

Permission for the consumption of alcohol varies by activity, and participants should refer to the policies for the specific activities for further clarification.

For sports, alcohol is strictly prohibited.  Players cannot consume alcohol on any part of league premises, including parking lots, before or after a game, and no player will be allowed to compete if the game official feels that a player has been drinking before the game.  The offending player(s) will be removed from the game and face further disciplinary action per the code of conduct.

For day ski trips, alcohol is strictly prohibited on the bus, and trip escorts may address disorderly conduct per the code of conduct.

For social, travel, night and overnight ski activities, participants are welcome to enjoy their libations as long as all behaviors adhere to the code of conduct.

There are 3 ways to see if activities are canceled.  We will always make an effort to give you a few hours notice, but that may not always be possible, so it is the participant’s responsibility to check these 3 sources.

For outdoor activities, cancellations depend upon the playability of a field, not whether it is raining. Decisions are usually made after 4pm on weekdays and 2-3 hours in advance on weekends. Because conditions & weather can change, updates are made as necessary, and we suggest you check before heading out to your activity. Games scheduled for synthetic grass fields are usually never cancelled unless there is thunder & lightning. In case of lightning near a field, games will be stopped immediately and then resumed when safe...this may cause a delay in the schedule or require some or all games to be cancelled depending on the duration of lightning. Activities may also be cancelled per the directive of the field/venue owner if they feel damage may be done to the field by playing on it.

During the winter months, occasionally activities may be cancelled due to snow. Some sports leagues use school facilities which may be closed if school was cancelled. However, some schools allow us to play as long as the parking lot is cleared. Other facilities are always open, and we will only cancel if overall conditions are too problematic. We will usually not cancel in advance based on a forecast of snow, but wait until actual accumulation. Similarly, if it is snowing in the morning or early afternoon, but is due to stop, we will wait until 4 or 5pm to see if we can play.

All league participants, officials, and spectators are expected to treat every facility with respect. Please do not abuse the facility, its staff, or anyone else within the facility, by leaving trash, swearing, or any other acts that may be deemed disrespectful. In addition to BSSC’s league rules, all are also subject to the rules of conduct which may exist for the facility. Failure to comply may result in expulsion from the league or other disciplinary actions as defined in the code of conduct.
