Key Steps to Complete Registration
1) Select program
Review our Programs & Fees page and Practice Schedule page and decide which program you want to enroll in. Be aware of our refund policy. Email our registrar with any questions – and if you plan to enroll more than 1 child from your family, ask for the coupon code!
2) Get equipment
Safety equipment is provided for Learn to Skate and One Month Trial skaters, but all other programs require mandatory safety equipment before you can get on the ice! See required equipment here.
3) Enroll as a Guardian
If no Guardian Member is registered the skating member is not permitted on ice. We prefer 2 Guardians registered for a child skater.
4) Get boots & bring cheques
- June-Aug registrants: sign up for summer bootfitting. If you start Sept-Feb, come 30 min before your first Sunday practice.
- Bring your chequebook. We need April 1 postdated deposit cheques for skates ($500), and/or volunteer hours ($400), and/or equipment ($250).
Refund Policy
- Prior to fall/winter season start: 100% refund of VSSC club fee, less $25 admin fee and transaction fees. You are responsible for obtaining refunds from SSBC and SSC for their fees.
- After season start: no refunds.
