Six to eleven is the widest band on the site and the one where a child starts choosing, and several of these guides turn on a date rather than a destination. North Dakota's youth deer season is ten days in September, well ahead of the regular gun season, and youth pheasant is a single weekend at the start of October — but the gate is the hunter education course, not the licence, and the free classroom version opens to a child who turns eleven before the end of the calendar year. So the year they turn eleven is when to look for a class. Youth sports run the same way backwards: tackle football closes in July for a season that starts in late August. The cheaper end is here too. Skate City's family membership is ten dollars a person a year and covers four free sessions every week, Fargo keeps sixteen outdoor rinks with the lights on at every one, and indoor open skate is four dollars for anyone eighteen and under — though no arena rents skates.
