GENERAL INFORMATION

Club members must be members of the United States Figure Skating (USFS).  USFS rules dictate that a skater may only be a home club member in one skating club.  If a skater opts to be a home club member of another skating club, he or she may join CIFSC as an associate member.  If associate members want to participate in events at our rink, they are required to have permission for the sanctions office from their home club. 

Package Assignment

Packages will be assigned in the order that registration forms and payments are received and distributed as follows:

  1. Current home club members – 1st package request
  2. New home club members – 1st package request
  3. Current home club members – 2nd package request
  4. New home club members – 2nd request
  5. Associate members

Rink Monitor
The skater will be required to take provide an adult as rink monitor several times during the skating seasons.  The dates and times will be automatically assigned after fall registration.  If you are not able to be rink monitor during your assigned time, it is your responsibility to find a replacement.  The rink monitor schedule will be distributed early in the skating season.  Copies will also be posted on the Willett bulletin board, on our website, and printed in the CIFSC monthly newsletter when possible.


Fundraising

Our club will participate in several fundraisers during the year. 

ê     Ice Show Flower Sale

Flowers are available for sale during the Annual Ice Show.  Family members are encouraged to purchase flowers from the club to help offset club costs.

Credit earning opportunities-all are optional but will help offset individual ice costs.  Even though these are optional activities, each club member is strongly encouraged to participate since a percentage of the profits stay with the club to offset expenses.

ê     Coke sales at Riverfront Rendezvous (optional)

CIFSC is responsible for selling soda at Riverfront Rendezvous during the entire July fourth weekend.  Members are encouraged to work a three hour shift during the weekend.  Volunteers who work at least one shift are eligible to receive a credit on their fall ice package costs.

ê     Concessions stands (optional)

CIFSC family members have the opportunity to work in the concessions stands at Willett Arena during Saturday and Tuesday Learn to Skate (LTS), Saturday and Sunday Public Skate Sessions and during the weekend of the Ice Show.   Workers must be 18 years or older (no one under 18 is allowed in the concessions area).  Workers are required to attend a 30-minute training session prior to working in the concession stand for the first time (see “Important Dates” for training times).  The skater’s ice package costs will be credited approximately $6.00/hour for each hour worked.  In addition, at the end of the year, a concession commission check is received and those funds will be divided up according to the number of hours worked and this additional credit can be used towards the following year’s fall ice packages.  No cash payments will be made for hours worked beyond the skater’s package costs.  For more information, contact the Concessions Crew Chief.

*Aside from the $6.00 per hour guaranteed from the rink for working in the concession stand, amounts of credits may vary.


Newsletters

Club newsletters are published approximately once a month, and will be emailed to the email address provided on your skater's registration form.  It can also be mailed to the skater (skater pays postage).   In addition to the newsletter, important club updates and reminders are posted on the bulletin board at Willett as well as on our website (www.CIFSC.net).   Check both often!
