2009-2010 Membership Renewal Hi Everyone! It is that time of year again…Membership time! Seattle Skating Club memberships follow the figure skating year of U.S. Figure Skating and are due to be renewed July 1st, 2009. Our club renewal month is July 1st through July 31st. All members – skaters, officials, coaches – must renew their memberships prior to participating in any test sessions, competitions or any U.S. Figure Skating sanctioned events so if you are heading to any July events, make sure you renew as soon as possible. Memberships renewed now will be valid for July 1st, 2009 through to June 30th, 2010. Membership Packet
The first two pages of the packet explain the membership process and review the types of memberships for you. If you have any questions on which type of membership you need to purchase, please do not hesitate to email me for clarification at contactlaura@comcast.net. The application itself is 4 pages long for adult members and 6 pages for members under the age of 18. I know filling in these forms can be tedious!! But it is necessary that we have signatures on all the required waivers and releases. IF your address or any of your contact information has not changed, then please just tick the appropriate box on the top of the form and save your hand from writing in your information again. Names are of course mandatory as are the signatures on the waivers. SSC Proposed Amendments to our Club Bylaws
Thank you, members for participating in this. The results will be emailed and changes will be explained soon.
Thank you all!! Laura Lee

Seattle Skating Club
DESCRIPTION OF CLUB MEMBERSHIP TYPES Please Note: All members under 21 must have one parent join as the Second Family Member with Membership type. (except for Associate Members) FULL COMPETITVE MEMBERSHIP Have you been an SSC Member before? Do you or your skater test above the Pre-Pre level? If you answered YES, then this is your membership! The full competitive membership provides all the benefits you need for U.S. Figure Skating testing and competition. Benefits of this membership include: • U.S. Figure Skating membership, which includes a subscription to Skating Magazine • Club certification (signatures for entry) for all U.S. Figure Skating competitions • Eligibility for U.S. Figure Skating testing in freestyle, moves in the field, pairs and dance • First priority for space on SSC testing, Judges’ Critiques and Exhibitions • Qualify to purchase Olympicview Arena ice time at a reduced rate. • Family membership entitles all family members to use the weight room and exercise equipment at OVA ** PLEASE look for the Junior/Senior category for those members with a skater under 18 years of age. **IF more than one skater or a 2nd adult would like to join, look to a Family Membership! INTRODUCTORY MEMBERSHIP Are you a basic skills member? Or New to SSC? Has your skater only tested Pre-pre? If you answered YES, then this is most likely your membership! The introductory membership is designed for new skaters who are just starting out in U.S. Figure Skating or moving from Basic Skill program to full U.S. Figure Skating program, and who have not joined any club before. It is a limited benefit membership that covers SSC and U.S. Figure Skating membership, including one subscription to Skating magazine, general club mailings, and qualifies the skater to purchase Olympicview Arena ice time at a reduced rate. All members under 18 must have one parent join as the Second Family Member and this parent or guardian then becomes a voting member of SSC. For all introductory skaters one level of testing is allowed at this membership level. Test and competition certification is allowed at Pre-Preliminary Moves in the Field, Pre-Preliminary Freestyle or Preliminary Dance levels. Once a skater tests to the Preliminary or Pre-Bronze dance level they must become a FULLCOMPETITVE MEMBER of the Seattle Skating Club. Adults may take any of these tests, as well as the Adult Pre-Bronze Freeskating test. Adults may be certified to compete at the lowest adult level offered at any non-qualifying competition. Introductory membership can be upgraded to full membership within the same fiscal year by paying the “$40 upgrade fee”. ** PLEASE look for the Junior/Senior category for those members with a skater under 18 years of age. **IF more than one skater or a 2nd adult would like to join, look to a Family Membership! ASSOCIATE MEMBERSHIP (NON-HOME CLUB MEMBERS) This membership is for members who are active members of another Home Club or are independent members of U.S., Figure Skating. Associate membership includes all the benefits described above, but does not offer U.S. Figure Skating membership and competition certification. This membership is appropriate for members of other clubs who frequently skate at Olympicview Arena, as you may qualify for reduced ice rates or wish to test on SSC test sessions for member rates. Be sure to indicate clearly your home club on the first page of the application so we can verify your membership in U.S. Figure Skating. PROFESSIONAL MEMBERSHIP This is the membership for our coaches, those who derive an income from skating and teach private students. Coaches, you MUST go through U.S. Figure Skating coach registration process and receive your “green light” before you apply to the club for membership. CONTINUING ADULT MEMBERSHIP This is a non-skating membership, and designed for adults who no longer skate, test or compete. This membership category covers those who would like U.S. Figure Skating membership and affiliation with SSC, but are not covered by other membership categories. This includes, but is not limited to Officials, parents or other family members of skaters age 18 or over, past and continuing board members, skaters who no longer compete but wish to remain in touch with skating and other friends of the Seattle Skating Club. |
