hayden figure skating club

There are over 400 members in our figure skating club. The club holds practice sessions daily. These sessions are called CLUB SESSIONS. ALL skaters using Club Sessions MUST be registered members of U.S. Figure Skating as well as Hayden. Skaters eligible for Club Sessions have generally completed the Learn to Skate Basic Badge Program and are taking private lessons. These skaters are learning the skills necessary for the U. S. Figure Skating tests in Moves in the Field, Freestyle Skating and Ice Dance. They are eligible to test and compete in U.S. Figure Skating sanctioned events. It is strongly recommended that you prepay for the club ice sessions on a monthly basis.

Membership costs for U. S. Figure Skating is $70 for the first family member and $35.00 for additional family members. New members are eligible for a reduced rate for their first season. Membership year begins on July 1 and runs thru June 30th. Memberships must be renewed each June. Sign up forms are available at the Ice Facility and online on the ice facility page of the website. www.jwhayden.org.

TEST SESSIONS

NO GENERAL SKATING on the second Wednesday of each month so that we may hold U.S. Figure Skating test sessions. A schedule of the planned test sessions and test applications are available at Ice Facility counter or on the bottom of this page. Applications are due two weeks prior to the test session desired. Occasionally the test sessions are cancelled or rescheduled. It is wise to telephone regarding these sessions.
