Membership - A membership in the JRFSC entitles a skater to a USFSA membership, an opportunity to test his/her skills in the Basic Skills and USFSA testing programs, participate in the annual ice show, and the opportunity to become a competitive skater. Parents are welcome and encouraged to come to the skating arena to watch and ask questions of the skating coach and/or JRFSC Board of Directors. Parents are welcome to attend all regular board of director meetings, annual meetings, functions, and activities of the club. Any board member can be contacted regarding these meetings and their time and place. Meeting minutes are available upon request.

Non-members - Non-member skaters from other USFSA clubs may request ice time as permitted by the board on a case-by-case basis. These skaters will pay an hourly walk-on fee.

Finances and Fund Raising - The JRFSC is an independent group of parents and skaters who work hard to keep the club functioning. The club is financed through registration fees, donations, and fundraisers. The annual ice show held in March or early April of each year is our major fundraising event. Skaters and parents will be asked to volunteer their time for a variety of projects, activities, and fundraisers that promote the club.
