STARSkate COMPETITION FEES
IF your skater has shown an interest in and has been recommended to register for a competition… We are very supportive of our skaters attending and participating in competitions. However, not all competitions are appropriate for all skaters, and depending on your child's level of skating, only a certain number of competitions per year might be advised. For that reason, please check with your Skater Representative before registering for any competition to ensure the competition is appropriate for the skater’s level of progression and development.
In addition to the competition registration fee, you can also expect to be charged for your Coaches time at the competition. This Coach Competition Fee covers the time spent with your skater while at the competition and can include warm up, competition time, awards and a de-briefing afterwards. This fee will differ depending on the STAR level of your skater and will be charged PER EVENT. Please Note: If the competition is considered an “away competition” you may need to pay additional fees such as travel costs (mileage, hotel, meals) for your Coach. Typically split between the attending athletes.
OUT OF TOWN COMPETITIONS:
The Club will consider subsidizing the additional costs our Coaches incur while attending out of town competitions (travel, hotel and per diem food allowance), should it be presented to the board well in advance of a competition. However parents should NOTE that these additional travel related costs could be passed on to the Skaters attending an out of town competition.
STAR 1 Skaters - will be billed from the club.
STAR 2 & Up Skaters - will be billed directly from one of our Coaches.
STAR 2-4 & Artistic Events $65 Fee
STAR 5 & Up + All Competitive Events $75 Fee
Please check with the Coach that ends up working with your skater at the competition – to determine how much your Coach Competition Fee will be – and make arrangements to pay them directly for this fee.
