SCNH Jackets Ready for the Ice!!

SCNH
              Skating Jacket

The club has been working with A&P Master Images to design skating jackets for our skaters.  You can order your jacket using the order form from our website.  Skaters can also order matching pants, tee shirts, headbands or hats to go with their jackets. 
So fill out that order form, and then turn it in to either the ice monitor or a board member, and make sure that your skater enters the new season dressed for success on the ice!

Small Changes to Freestyle Schedule

Our schedule on Sunday evenings has changed slightly, due to the elimination of the Team Skills session.  This has allowed us to extend the Low Freestyle session on Sunday evening, and it has allowed us to double the amount of time allocated to our popular Sunday evening Style class.  Check out the freestyle flyer or the schedule page on the website for more information.

As a club we have worked hard to best serve the needs of our membership.  This coming season we face some large increases in ice costs, and we have worked hard to minimize the impact of these greatly increased costs on our membership.  Freestyle skaters can register anytime we have ice this summer, just talk to the ice monitor during our summer session.

2012 Registration Answers to Common Questions

Is this more expensive than last year?  Yes it is.  Our ice rates have increased dramatically this year.  Our Board struggled with the best way to hold down costs, while still providing the ice time and benefits that make our club special.  Our club still provides great value for our members, along with additional services not offered elsewhere.
What is the Volunteer Fee?  Freestyle skaters will now pay a volunteer fee at the beginning of the season.  By volunteering for club approved activities the family of the skater will qualify to have this fee refunded at the end of the season.  If we don't get enough volunteers, we will use these fees to hire local students to perform these activities for the club.
What is the Administrative Fee? This fee covers mailing expenses, USFS insurance coverage, costumes, and some of the other administrative costs that the club has.

 If you have any questions, feel fee to drop by and talk to us at registration.

Joint Members and Visiting Skaters

Joint memberships to the SCNH are available to all members of the USFS. Fees are based on the amount of ice needed. For details about joint membership, just drop us an email, call us at 315-734-5656, or check our brochure.

We welcome visiting professionals, and skaters from other clubs. Visiting coaches will need to pay a $5 fee for using our ice, unless they are coaching club members, in which case the fee will be waived. All coaches must have valid insurance and must sign our code of conduct before skating on our ice.

During the regular season ice schedule, visiting skaters can drop in on our ice for $10 per hour, if there are open slots for the session. Punch cards can be purchased as well, for those skaters that frequently "drop in".
