Annual Test Session / High School Competition: Sat. Dec. 9, 2023

Our annual test session and Red Panther High School Competition will be held on Saturday, December 9th.  Please review the attached registration form and discuss testing with your coach.  The test session is open to current CIFSC members and associate members only.  

Back by popular demand, we will again be offering a club resale opportunity on this day as well.  Refer to the attached flyer for details.  

As a reminder, if your skater is participating in either the test session or the high school competition, you will need to complete two hours of volunteer time during that day.  For test session only skaters, your hours will apply towards your club volunteer hours.  For high school skaters, your first two hours will fulfil your high school volunteer requirement.  Any additional hours worked will count towards your club volunteer hours. Please follow this link: https://signup.com/go/GeowPHO

High School 2023 Bill: Final Reminder (Due March 29)

This is a reminder that HS payments are due by Wednesday March 29th. If able, it would be a great time tomorrow since all skaters will be at the rink for opening number practice to turn in your payment. 

Reminder that if payment is not received on or before Wednesday March 29th, skaters will not be allowed to take part in the ice show.

If questions, let me know.

Thanks,
Melissa

High School: Team Photo – 12/6 @ 3:30pm

The high school team pictures have finally been scheduled. The date is December 6th from 3:30 until done. I think we can do individuals first then team picture. John Hartman is taking the pictures. It has been a real struggle to arrange a time for both so I apologize for the short notice.

High School Competition: Volunteers NEEDED!

Good Afternoon!

We will be hosting 12 teams for our High School Competition and we need all hands on deck! We are especially in need of two volunteers from 1:45-4:00 to announce the teams and play music. A script will be provided. 

Please use this link to sign up. The time slot will be updated, but you would be needed from 1:45-4:00. We have volunteers for 10:45-1:45.

The high school competition will likely start closer to 10:45 rather than 11:00. We are working to update the volunteer times. Please check next week as your time may be slightly altered. 

Remember that all skaters participating in either the test session or highschool competition need to volunteer two hours of time. For highschool families, this is separate from your club volunteer time. Any hours completed over two, will count towards your required club hours (5 for one skater, 8 for multiple skaters). The Board of Directors is especially appreciative of those families that go beyond the required hours. To continue providing these experiences for our skaters, we really need families to help us out. 

Thank you for your consideration,

Jill

USFSA Test Session: Signup / Volunteers

Our home test session and high school competition is Saturday, December 10th. We are in need of volunteers for this event. Please sign up here.

If your skater is on the highschool team, you are required to volunteer 2 hours this day. These hours are separate from your club volunteer hour time. If your skater is participating in the test session (registration coming soon), you are required to volunteer 2 hours this day. This will count towards your club volunteer time.

If your skater is both on the HS team AND testing, 2 hours minimum is required and those 2 hours will fulfil your HS obligation. Any hours beyond the first 2 will be applied to your club volunteer requirement. 

Ice Show 2023: Registration Updates, Additional Fees

Ice Show Registration opens on Saturday, October 29th. The link to registration can be found on the KB Willett Ice Arena website. Skaters who are eligible, and interested, in trying out for a specialty, solo, or tot leader role must be registered for the ice show prior to tryouts (November 13).

If your skater earns a solo or specialty number, or will be performing as part of a synchoo team, highschool team, or as a senior, additional fees will be billed this year. Due to some redistribution of responsibilities the practice ice costs will now be divided by the skaters on the ice. The board is committed to minimizing these costs, as much as we can. We strongly encourage families to take advantage of our credit earning opportunities to assist paying these additional fees. RaiseRight (formally known as Scrip) is an easy way to build credit. For more information regarding this opportunity, please reach out to Cassie Tudor cassiejtudor@admin

Update 10/28/2022: After some productive conversations with the city about the ice show, the practice ice costs will not be passed onto skaters this year. Please prepare for the possibility that skaters may be billed next year. The best way to keep our costs low is to pack that arena for the shows. So please start spreading the word. Share the event on social media and, when the time comes, get those yard signs out.

We wanted to make sure families were aware of these changes, prior to registration. If you have additional questions, please let us know.
