Membership Information for 2024/2025

 

Hello Skating families. Over the next month you will be receiving a lot of information regarding membership with Spokane Figure Skating Club (SFSC). For those of you who are not currently members please understand that Spokane FSC is our US Figure Skating member club. It has nothing to do with skating in Spokane or belonging to the skating club in Spokane. SFSC was established in 1934 and has persevered and grown for almost 90 years and we have been proud to call Frontier Arena our home for the past 12+ years. There is some confusion when it comes to our Learn to Skate group lesson program being called Lake City Figure Skating. This is a program offered through Spokane FSC with its own name, it is not a separate club. Lake City Figure Skating skaters do belong to Learn to Skate USA (LTSUSA). Please read the information below so that you have a full understanding of what to know as we come into our 2024/2025 membership year.

​

The membership year for Spokane FSC members and Lake City Figure Skating skaters runs from July 1, 2024-June 30. All skaters who skate on any of our sponsored ice time are required to have a membership with either SFSC, Lake City Figure Skating or an Individual Membership with US Figure Skating.

​

Lake City Figure Skating: These skaters are actively taking our Learn to Skate group lessons on Tuesdays at 5pm or Saturday mornings, Ice Mice-Basic 6 & Adult 1-6. These skaters will have a membership with Learn to Skate USA as Lake City Figure Skating skaters. Your 2024/2025 Lake City Figure Skating/LTSUS membership will be renewed the next time you register for LTS Group Lessons. If your skater has graduated Basic 6 in the last 11 months or has stopped taking group lessons but is still taking private lessons you now need to join Spokane FSC. If your skater is participating in our monthly Aspire program but is no longer taking our LTS group lessons you will need to join Spokane FSC.
       * Some membership benefits include Access to Spokane FSC ice time, ability to perform and compete in Learn to Skate USA approved events, secondary sports insurance and more.

​

Spokane Figure Skating Club: Skaters who have passed Basic 6 or Adult 6 are required to become a member of US Figure Skating and joining Spokane FSC is the most affordable way to make that happen. If your skater is under the age of 18 we do require that a parent or guardian joins as a non-skating parent partner. Skaters who are participating in our monthly Aspire program and is no longer participating in our LTS group lesson program are required to join SFSC. If this is the first time your skater is joining the club, then your skater will be registering for our Introductory Membership. If you were a member last year then skaters who are still kids, 17yo or younger, will join as a Junior member and 18+ will join as a Senior member. 
      *Some membership benefits include access to Spokane FSC ice time, ability to perform and compete in US Figure Skating sanctioned events, secondary sports insurance, ability to take US Figure Skating official tests, ability to be eligible for Spokane FSC annual awards banquet, ability to vote in Spokane FSC elections and the ability to participate in our annual holiday ice show.

​

Individual Membership with US Figure Skating: Skater’s do not need to be a member of a specific figure skating club, however if they do not join a specific club they must be members of US Figure Skating individually. This is typically a more expensive option than joining Spokane FSC.
      *Some membership benefits include access to Spokane FSC ice time, ability to perform and compete in US Figure Skating sanctioned events, secondary sports insurance, and the ability to take US Figure Skating official tests.

​

We understand that this can be very confusing. Please do not hesitate to reach out to Moe or your private lesson coach if you have one. lakecityfs@gmail.com.

One last review:
Lake City Figure Skating/Learn to Skate USA Membership:
Skater is currently enrolled in Tuesday 5pm or Saturday morning Learn to Skate Group Lessons. This does NOT include Aspire only skaters. Your membership will renew automatically when you re-enroll for your next set of group lessons.

​

Spokane Figure Skating Club/US Figure Skating Membership:
Any skater of any level who is no longer actively taking our Tuesday 5pm or Saturday morning LTS group lessons. This includes skaters who are taking Aspire without also taking LTS Group Lessons. This also includes all skaters who are taking private lessons without also taking LTS Group Lessons.
