Crystal Ice Figure Skating Club  (CIFSC)  is a non-profit organization for area figure skaters who wish to skate for recreation, competition or to improve and develop skating skills beyond basic levels.  Persons age eighteen or younger who skate at Freestyle 1 level or above may apply for membership in the club.   The club provides ice time, testing, exhibitions, and an opportunity to participate in the ice show at K.B. Willett Arena.  

The club is governed by a constitution and by-laws which can be obtained from the CIFSC Board.  CIFSC is managed by a board of directors consisting of nine people elected by club members.  

Members of the board  serve a three year term.  Board meetings are held once each month during the skating season or as often as needed.   All meeting dates are listed on the Club Calendar.   For more information on the Board of Directors, click on the BOARD button to the left.

MEMBERSHIP AND REGISTRATION FORMS CAN BE FOUND UNDER THE "FORMS" TAB. 

How do I join the club?  
An organizational meeting is held in the fall (usually August) of each year.  The meeting dates and times are published in the Stevens Point Daily Journal and on our CIFSC website.  You may also contact K.B. Willett for information or check the CIFSC bulletin board located inside K.B. Willett Arena or contact any board member for information.   For those skaters who pass into the Freestyle 1 level mid-season, package rates will be pro-rated depending on the start date.  Membership fees are annual fees and will NOT be pro-rated.

Who may join?
Club membership is offered to those skaters at Freestyle 1 or higher (according to ISI standards).

How do I know what happens in the club?  
Club members receive a quarterly newsletter.  Newsletters are emailed to the skaters and are also available on the website.  The newsletter gives information about things happening in the club, special offers, package vacancies, meeting dates, schedule changes, tryout dates, etc.  A copy of the newsletters will also be available on the CIFSC bulletin board at the rink.  For the latest and greatest news, please visit the website.

How much does it cost to join the club?  
Skating club fees vary according to the number of hours you want to skate.  Ice time that is available to the club is divided into time slots called packages.  Package times vary, but last approximately 40-60 minutes for the length of the skating season.  Packages are offered at various times on Sundays, Mondays and Thursdays.  You should select a package according to your skating level and the availability of your coach. 

When are skating fees due?  
Fees are payable in one installment at the time of registration or in two installments - 50% when registering and the remainder in early January.

What is the refund policy?  
Refunds are not given for missed club package sessions.   

Refunds for coaching are to be discussed with the individual coach.  If you are not able to make your lesson with your coach you must notify the coach as far in advance as possible.  Please remember the coach has reserved that time slot for you and is depending upon your payment as a part of their income.  Payment for missed lessons vary from coach to coach. Please discuss this at the start of the season with your coach.  

 What about fundraising?
 Each family is has an option to participate in fundraising.  The funds raised are used to defray some of the cost of the ice.  Without this money, the ice fees would be substantially higher.  All fundraisers will be announced as needed.
