2025 Spring/Summer Registration

Dryland, NO ICE

From April to August, the club is in its summer off-season as Kitsilano Rink is a dry-floor rink at this time. During this time we offer outdoor and indoor dryland sessions and special training events such as cycling and indoor skating.

For the 2025 summer dryland season, learn more and register here.

2025-2026 Fall/Winter Registration

Registration for RETURNING VVSSC Home Club skaters is now open. This initial registration period will be open exclusively for returning skaters until July 31 at midnight. Please check your inbox for a July 20 email with the registration link.

Registration will open on August 1 for NEW Vancouver members (i.e. skaters with no other home club affiliation), and for all skaters regardless of club affiliation on August 14.

Please be advised that if anyone who is NOT a VVSSC home club member registers before Aug 1, their registration will be cancelled, and we will be unable to refund the provincial and national membership fees portion of the order.

Before You Register

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.

After You Register

1) 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.

2) 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 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.
