ECFSC
MEMBER REGISTRATION---TYPES OF MEMBERSHIP
Associate memberships are held by skaters who claim another USFSA
club as their home club, but also pay membership fees to ECFSC for the ability
to contract ice. They have no other
obligations to the club. Ice priority is
given to full members first.
Summer associate memberships are held by skaters who claim another
USFSA club as their home club, but also pay membership fees to ECFSC for their
ability to contract ice during the summer or defined period of time determined
by the board. (Currently defined as April 1 to August 31.) They have no other obligations to the
club. Ice priority is behind full
members and associate members.
Alumni memberships may be held by skaters who have
previously had memberships with the club and wish to contract ice periodically
throughout the year or add on ice. Ice contracts are mailed. They have no other obligations to the club.
Ice priority is given to full members first.
Full Membership What's expected of ECFSC families?
As a skating family, you need to be aware of some basic
requirements. Most everything you need to know comes under one word:
INVOLVEMENT. The ECFSC is an organization run exclusively by volunteers. There are
no paid staff members. If Club families did not donate time and effort
necessary to provide needed services and funds, the Club simply could not
exist. We rely on ALL Club families to help us provide an optimal skating
environment for every Club skater. Therefore, parents and families of skaters
MUST participate in Club activities including the following:
• Each family is required to
sell a minimum amount during annual fund raisers. Any family not selling the
required amount will be assessed for the unsold portion.
• EVERYONE is required to help
with our major events such as our annual competition (March 13-15, 2009, usually
12-15 hours), exhibition and ice show (April 2009), whether or not your
skater is participating in these events. Each family is expected to
volunteer time. For the show, families need to work two of the three shows and
sell or buy a minimum of $50.00 worth
of tickets.
• All ECFSC members must sell
the designated number of show tickets and participate in the show sponsor
program.
• ALL ECFSC adult members are expected to
work a designated number of hours as rink monitor.
• Financial obligations are as stated in the
Club Bylaws (found in the back of handbook).
The best advice
anyone could give another member is to volunteer for anything you are able to
do. Now that you're all ready to volunteer your time, there are several ways to
do your share:
1.
Watch the newsletters and the postings in the Pro/Parent room for
opportunities
2.
Attend Club meetings - many opportunities are made available at these
meetings
3.
Contact the Chairperson of any one of the various committees our Club has
- a listing of these committees and their contact person is given later on in
this handbook.
4.
Attend a Board meeting - many
opportunities are made available at these meetings
5.
Contact a Board Member - they have been with the
Club a number of years and are always glad to have an interested member
volunteer their time.
6.
When you are called to volunteer for a specific event, do everything
you can to fill that request. The person calling is also volunteering her/his
time and after a while it is hard to listen to even the best reasons for not
being able to participate.

1.
Respect
is to be shown toward every Pro, rink supervisor, parent, rink personnel, and
skater at all times.
2.
Only 22 skaters are allowed on the ice
per session.
3.
Check your name off on the session
sheet or with the rink monitor before you take the ice.
4.
If you are buying random ice (ice not
originally contracted for), make arrangements with the rink monitor before
taking the ice.
5.
RIGHT
OF WAY ON FREESTYLE:
Skaters skating their programs who are wearing
the orange belt have the right of way – please learn to recognize skaters’
programs so you can avoid skating in their paths. If you do not know whose music is playing,
please ASK.
6.
Music will be played at rinkside during summers; put your tape in order if you wish
to have it played. Skaters having
lessons have priority for music. If music is stopped before completion, the
tape is moved to the end of the line of tapes.
Skaters should return their tapes
to the cases at the end of the session.
7.
“Heads Up” will be used
if someone is in your way or a skater is approaching an area and skaters and/or
coaches are not aware. If you inadvertently get in someone’s way, apologize and
return to skating. “I’m sorry” and
“Thank you” should be used frequently on the ice.
8.
Spins are practiced in the middle of
the rink; jumps are done at the ends unless skaters are skating
their programs with/without music.
9.
Please vary your practice areas to
avoid interference with skaters’ programs.
10.
If you fall and are not seriously hurt,
get up as quickly as you can to avoid injury to yourself and others.
11.
Do not stand on the ice! If you are not
moving, you should be able to touch the boards.
Not moving on the ice is forbidden!
12.
Do
not kick the ice in frustration or play; the hole you
leave could injure you or another skater.
13.
No
skater is to sit in the boxes unless you are injured or need to
retie skates. Observers or skaters who
have not contracted for the session should not sit in the boxes either. This tends to distract the skaters. Observers
should sit in the stands.
14. There is no sitting on the boards at any time.
15. Moves patterns
may only be skated during moves sessions and the first 15 minutes of freestyle
sessions.
16. The middle 10 minutes
of every moves session will be skated in a clockwise direction.
17. During the moves sessions, please use the
blue and center red lines when working on edges. If the lines are being used,
please wait until one is open. Do not use the end red lines.
18. Leave the ice immediately upon entrance of the Zamboni
to the rink – last minute jumps before the Zamboni
approaches are unacceptable.
19. During the summer especially, skaters from
other clubs may be skating on ECFSC contract ice. Let’s help create a positive
image for our club by being friendly and helpful to them, both on and off the
ice. Treat them the way you would like
to be treated if you were a visiting skater at another rink.
20. Many skaters need to use the ECFSC dressing
room. Do your part to keep the atmosphere pleasant by treating fellow skaters
with courtesy and respecting each other’s belongings.
21. Do your part to keep the dressing room
livable. Please do not leave garbage on the floor or the benches. If you don’t
pick it up, someone else will have to, and you’ll be creating a negative rather
than a positive image of the ECFSC.
I
have read and understand the ECFSC Skating
Courtesies and Policies. I have also attended an ECFSC ice rules/courtesies
meeting, or I have gone over these policies with an ECFSC Coach/Pro and an
ECFSC Board member. By my signature below, I state my intention to follow these
policies and courtesies to the best of my ability.
