Junior level Coach will charge $40 per solo while a Senior level Coach will charge $60 per solo.  This charge will come from the club.

COMPETITION FEE POLICY:

IF your skater has shown an interest in and has been recommended to register for a competition… 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.

The Board of Directors, in consultation with our Director of Skating, has established that the WRSSSC competition fee for all skaters competing at local or out of town competitions for the 2023/2024 skating season (September until August) will be $40-75 per skater/per event.

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.

The coaching/competition fee will be charged to you directly by your Coach after each competition.*STAR 2 and Up, please make arrangements to pay your Coach directly after a competition.

STAR 1 Skaters will be invoiced from the club.

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.
