Program Description and Fees
Description
REGULAR SEASON
Regular Season programs begin in September with our indoor Short Track program.
Skaters are divided on the ice into smaller groups according to skill level. This is to ensure that there is a good ratio of coaches to skaters. It also allows skaters to progress to higher levels of training when they are ready as individuals. Most young skaters start on hockey or figure skates and progress to speed skates when they are ready (rentals available).
As skaters progress, they have the option to race in meets held in Saskatoon, across Saskatchewan and beyond. For young skaters, races are segregated into very small groups based on ability so that they are always matched with other skaters at a very similar speed, regardless of age. A skater is not allowed to bump or push another skater and there are disqualifications when this happens. Skater are supported by coaches at the meets. The races are exciting for families to watch and a great growth opportunity for the skaters.
The Regular Season Programs are divided into four groups for instruction and training based on ability. Click on one of the following for information.
Fees
To help families and the club manage costs, Regular Season (Group) Fees are broken into 3 components:
- Registration Fee Amount – payable upon registration
- Fundraising Fee Amount – this fee is paid upfront and families have the option to work off this amount by participating in fundraising
- Volunteering Fee Amount – this fee is paid upfront and families have the option to work off this amount by volunteering at meets and events; 1 unit is approximately 8 hours
Where families have more than one child in the club, Fundraising and Volunteering are 100% for the oldest skater and 50% for additional, younger skaters in the family; see “Second+ Skater” lines in Fee Schedule.
See each Group Informaton page for fees.
