Session Registration and Moves:

All skaters must be registered in the highest level they qualify for as of their last test day for the SCBC session ice they skate on. This allows SCBC the opportunity to better accommodate each skaters needs and ensure a higher level of safety while on the ice, for all skaters.

Movement to a higher session is only allowed provided the following conditions are met:

1) The skater must have passed the required tests. The skater’s Coach will identify which session a skater should register for.

2) A formal Letter/Email of Request from the member, to include agreement of the skater’s head coach must be received by the Membership Chair ([email protected]) for approval. All requests will be considered in the order to which they are received.

3) There must be available space on the session the skater is requesting. A waiting list may be created as necessary if the session is full.

4) Approval may involve consultation with all, or some of the following: the individual Skaters Coach, SCBC Coaches Assessment Team and SCBC Board.

Skaters are only able to skate in sessions for which their skills are appropriate.

If approval to move sessions is granted, a $30.00 administrative fee will be charged for each CanSkate or regular session schedule change requested after registration except for moves due to skater advancement as a result of a successful “Test” day.

Skaters are not permitted to move to another session until authorization has been granted and written notification has been received.

Skater safety is a priority and will not be compromised to accommodate any one request.

Once permitted to move levels, a skater must attend only the scheduled days for the new session that was requested. The skater is not allow to skate on the previous, old session.
