Requirements for Levels and Movement

The following policy is at the discretion of the CCSC Board. CCSC mandate is to provide quality ice surface for each figure skating level matching skater’s ability with levels of sessions.  Our hope is to have a maximum of 24 skaters on each Figure Skating session but this is a guideline that depends on enrollment. The skater requirements have been established for skating on the various ice times have been defined and are outlined below.  These are the default requirements.  In order to provide for optimal ice utilization during CCSC Programs, the Board has also established guidelines for moving skaters to other ice times which are also provided below.

Skaters 18 of age and older. Current Skating level must be evaluated by a coach to determine if open adult or Learn-To-Skate adult is appropriate for skater.

Important notes: All exceptions will be considered with the input from the skater’s coach and club contract coaches.  In order for a skater to be moved to a higher level ice session an official email will be sent from the club email account. No email, no movement!  Parents and skaters must respect these decisions of the Board once made.   Each year is a different skating year, all skaters will continue to register for their appropriate levels and skate at these levels unless officially notified by the club of ice surface changes.
