2 Fall Ice Contracts It's time to start gearing up for the new season of skating! Attached to this newsletter you will find the Fall ice contracts. Paper copies of contracts are also available in the AFSC club room. There are some changes to class offerings this year so please read through the contract page 1 document for details. We are excited to add an extra 1/2 hour to the Saturday morning session. The Bridge class (formerly Youth class) has moved to Friday afternoon. We have a new class offering on Friday mornings instead of the traditional Moves class. There is a new requirement for All-inclusive Ice contracts. Make sure you read the fine print on the contract pages before submitting your contract. You must indicate the sessions the skater is planning to skate. The skater must skate at least 75% of the indicated sessions to avoid an additional fee. As we know from last year, our ice time is valuable and fills up. The AFSC Board has approved increasing the number of skaters to 24 per session. This is a trial run, and if we discover this is too dangerous we may have to modify this policy. Everyone must follow ice etiquette guidelines. For safety of our skaters, the Board is requiring two ice monitors during Saturday, Sunday, and Wednesday evening sessions. A Sign-up Genius page for ice monitors will be created. Please sign up to assist with ice monitoring. Training for all ice monitors will be done at our Fall Kick Off which is scheduled for Saturday, August 23 from 9:00am-11:30am. If you have questions please feel free to contact me. Virginia Stadler AFSC President Farewell Party for Ada Harpole The AFSC Jr Board invites everyone to a going away party for Ada Harpole (and her parents) as they prepare to move to Germany.

An AFSC Event committee (IA Games competition, spring show, recognition event, Great to Skate, etc.) All Inclusive Ice Agreement o Locker payment billed seperately o Locker payment billed seperately c. Basic Skills Program (consult LTS Director, for available opportunities) d. Ice monitor (minimum one time slot per week) #3 I understand that when contracting the All Inclusive Ice Plan skaters must actually skate and document the hours required to meet the spring ice show solo, feature, or duet/trio role requirements. All skaters must sign in with the ice monitor at the start of the ice session and out at the conclusion of their session. In the event there is no monitor present any AFSC coach may be asked to initial the attendance sheet. #4 I understand that any special AFSC sessions added in addition to the above contract are not included include in this All Inclusive Ice Contract nor will I be reimbursed for any ice sessions that are cancelled due to weather, coach absence or any other unforeseen circumstances. By signing, I understand that this is a binding contract and I am responsible for paying all contracted ice and classes as indicated above. If the skater is unable to skate due to illness, injury or other unforeseen circumstances, they are still responsible for paying for all contracted ice & classes unless otherwise approved by the AFSC Board of Directors.

10 All Inclusive Ice Contract Requirements & Frequently Asked Questions How will skating hours be documented? An attendance sheet for each ice session will be made up at the start of the semester. The attendance sheets will be kept in a notebook on the club s utility cart along with the other club ice session necessities. All Inclusive Ice session skaters will need to go to the ice monitor prior to getting on the ice and write his/her log in time on the attendance sheet. The ice monitor will initial next to the skater s time. When the skater leaves at the end of the session the skater will need to write his/her time out and the monitor will initial next to the time out. In the event there is no monitor present any AFSC coach that is present may be asked to initial the skaters log times. What if a skater leaves the ice to go to the bathroom, tape a blister, find their music, re-tie their skates, sit on the bench etc? The Ice monitor is not a babysitter. Skaters are expected to skate but what a skater gets out of his/her session is ultimately his/her responsibility. Skaters must log out in order to get their time counted so if a skater leaves without logging out they will not get credit for the session. A skater should not ask a monitor to sign their log time if they were not on the ice. As per the ice policy, a skater must sign out if off the ice for more than 5 minutes at a time. What happens if a skater with an All Inclusive Ice contract skates less than 75% of the ice time indicated on their contract each month? To be eligible for the All Inclusive Ice, a skater must skate at least 75% of the sessions indicated in their contract each month. Failure to skate the 75% of the sessions will result in a $50 fee each month, unless prior approval has been made by the club president. If this occurs in 2 consecutive months, the AFSC Board of Directors reserves the right to modify the contract. What about skaters that are not contracting All Inclusive Ice? All skaters that contract ice are required to sign the log. Any skater that contracts hourly will continue to have all ice purchased count toward solo and feature requirements and no record of their actual skating time will be kept by the club. What if a skater fails to meet the show solo/feature skating time requirements? Skater s that apply for a special role are asked to provide information on their application about how they meet the requirements. An ongoing tabulation of logged hours will be kept. If the show committee becomes concerned that the skater is not going to fulfill the time requirements the skater may risk losing their special role or having their solo re-choreographed as a group feature role etc. Although it is preferred that the skater skate the required hours, any hours short of the required hours may be purchased at the current contract rate. Do I have to skate a certain number of hours to be in the Spring Show? No, only skaters that are applying for solo or feature roles have to fulfill a skating time requirement. Club skaters who do not want special roles may still participate in many group numbers which may be divided by skill level at the discretion of our show directors. How will volunteer requirements be monitored? Skaters are asked to write in their plans for volunteer participation on the bottom of the All Inclusive Contract worksheet. Because of the traditionally strong support of our members we do not anticipated any problems with members meeting these requirements.

11 Frequently Asked Questions continued What if I decide after the starting the All Inclusive Contract that I want to change back to contracting hourly? Skaters are financially responsible for the payments indicated on their contract and may not decrease that obligation once contracted. Skaters are allowed to add to their contracts so if a skater wanted to switch back to the hourly contract rate they could do so as long as they were contracting more than $2,115 per fall/spring combined in ice fees. If the all Inclusive Ice Contract includes everything why do I have to indicate which sessions I plan to skate on the contract worksheet? This allows our members and coaches know what to expect. It is helpful for our coaches teaching group lessons to know who is planning to attend so they can better plan their lessons. Also, if you are not planning to skate a specific day it allows the club to offer that day to another skater. (i.e. you indicate you will never skate Wednesday evenings, another skater could take that spot since we do have a limitation of 24 skaters on the ice.) What happens if I give up a specific day and later decide I am able to skate that time? If you indicated you will not be skating a specific day, you may walk-on to the session at no additional cost if there is availability. You will have priority over other walk-ons if the session is full. What if nobody shows up for a group class? Group classes with less than 3 regularly attending skaters may be cancelled. If we receive no indication that skaters are planning to attend the classes prior to the start of the session we may elect to cancel them until our membership lets us know they will be utilized. What if I decide to come to a class but did not indicate my plans to do so on the worksheet? We really want skaters to take advantage of the ice time and group classes we have to offer. If you decide spur of the moment to attend a class you are welcome to do so, if a class is cancelled due to low enrollment we will send out a notification to the membership. What if no instructor shows up for a scheduled class? Our club coaches take their commitments to coaching seriously. If the coach knows in advance they will not be present they will make every effort to find a qualified replacement. In the event of an unforeseen emergency and we do not have an instructor to coach a scheduled class the skaters are welcome to utilize the ice for freestyle skating. Skaters that contract hourly and pay an instruction fee will receive a coupon for a make-up ice session. There will be no refunds or compensation for skaters that contract all inclusive ice. If a coach misses class more than once without finding a replacement the AFSC Board of Directors may choose to find a different instructor for that class. What happens if there are too many skaters on the ice? It is expected that some sessions will be more popular than others. We allow 24 skaters on ice and several sessions are low. Walk-on skaters will have lowest priority and may not get to skate if a session is full. Skaters that are working on skills that are difficult to perform on a crowded ice session may find it easier to get more accomplished on the less popular weekday morning ice sessions. Coaches and skaters may want to take that in to consideration when planning lessons. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact the AFSC Board President.
