Indoor
Openings and Drop In Policy Get a
taste of indoor skating!
In the fall (Sep-Dec) session of indoor skating our
official policy was to not allow drop ins. However, in an
effort to more flexibly meet the needs of all skaters we are
updating our policy.
In the winter session (Jan-Mar) the drop in policy will
be:
Any 2007 / 2008 clubmember may drop in during the
second hour (12-1PM).
The drop in fee is $10, exact fare only!
The session coach reserves the right limit the number of
skaters if there are too many.
Watch our homepage, if there are any first hour sessions
where dropin are allowed we will announce it on the
homepage.
In addition we are opening up registration for the second
hour to an additional 5 skaters, registration fee for the
second hour only, Jan-March will be $35.. As always, indoor skating is
popular, sign up before the spots are gone! For more
details see our Indoors page.
