2023/2024 Coach Membership

Home Club Coaches: 

Those members of the club who are considered to be ineligible persons under the Eligibility Rules of U.S. Figure Skating. Professional Members may vote in Club Elections and may serve on the Board of Directors, as permitted by USFS and SWFS club rules. Their participation in club activities is greatly appreciated. SWFSC would not be successful without the support of its home club coaches. We wish to reward this commitment by exempting our Primary Professional members from U.S. Figure Skating membership fees and club dues when they have 3 or more Home Club Skaters.

That is to say, if the professional is the primary coach of three SWFSC home club members, that coach will receive "free" membership to the SWFSC. The Coach must still register with the SWFSC before July 1st. After registering, professional members must complete USFS Coach’s Registration, including annual USFS SafeSport training, background check, and annual Liability Insurance, in order to coach on any of SWFSC ice sessions. If a professional intends to attend test sessions and non-qualifying or qualifying competitions, then the professional is also required to complete the annual PSA Continuing Education requirements (CER), prior to July 1st.

Fees:

No fee with three home Club Skaters, $45 without three or more home club skaters

Associate Coaches: 

Those members of the club who are considered to be ineligible persons under the Eligibility Rules of U.S. Figure Skating but whose USFS primary membership is with another U.S.Figure Skating member club. Associate Professional Members may not vote in Club Elections and may not serve on the Board of Directors. Their participation in club activities is greatly appreciated. SWFSC would not be successful without the support of its associate club coaches. After registering with the SWFSC, Associate Professional members must complete the USFS Coach’s Registration, including annual USFS SafeSport training, background check, current liability insurance from either PSA or USFS.

Fees:

No fee with three home Club Skaters, $45 without three or more home club skaters

Coaches who hold Home Club Membership with another USFS Club and who are not associate member coaches of the SWFSC are welcome to teach on SWFSC ice with a payment of $5.00 each day that they teach. They must sign in and pay the ice monitor and show copies of the minimum required credentials: Current USFS membership; Current Liability Insurance; Current Background Check and Current Safe Sport Training.
