You must cancel at least 24 hours before each scheduled lesson.

Failure to pay for lessons by the 15th of each month will result in a $25 late fee being charged to skater accounts.

Additional private lessons may be scheduled at any time with an available coach.

Failure to Maintain Accounts
Failure to maintain all skater accounts as paid-to-date and current will result in immediate loss of all figures skating club privileges. In addition to loss of privileges, a late payment of $50 will be assessed for payments received after the due date.

A returned check fee of $25 will be assessed for NSF checks. If one returned check has been received, then all future payments must be received as cash or money order.

If you have questions about fees please contact the club treasurer. Make checks payable to S.S.F.S.C.

Withdrawal from the Plan
The skater may request to withdraw from the flat rate plan in the event of serious medical illness or condition or other extenuating circumstance requiring total withdrawal from the Steamboat Springs Figure Skating Club. The skater must notify the skating club board in writing within 30 days of the first day of missed time. Request to withdraw must be accompanied by an illness-specific physician's note and/or other supporting documentation. Refunds will only be considered for complete loss of session time of four or more consecutive weeks. Refunds will be calculated at 75% of the flat rate for the missed time period.

Volunteering
You are required to volunteer five hours of time to the SSFSC for ice shows, exhibitions and fund-raisers.

Fundraising
Fundraising is a very important part of our club.We are a non-profit organization and any donations received are tax deductible. Our goal is to make enough money with our fundraising efforts to cover ice time so we don't have to charge exorbitant membership fees. Right now, membership fees barely cover the cost of ice rental.

A separate work deposit check of $240.00 will be required by all club members. The checks will be post-dated to November 15, 2008. The work deposit is equivalent to six Silent Auction tickets. You will be responsible for selling your tickets and collecting your work deposit money back before Novenber 15th. All checks will be deposited on November 15th.

Keeping current with Schedule Changes
Members will be notified of any schedule changes or important club information via e-mail. Please provide us with your current e-mail address.
