Rules for Skating or Coaching on Club Ice Sessions

Failure to follow club policies policy places the club at risk of losing the ability to rent ice at the university and will not be tolerated.  Non-compliant skaters and coaches are subject to having their club privileges revoked. 

In addition to the previously established rules detailed below and due to recent high interest in club ice sessions, we have included a priority list based on contract status and membership type in the event a waitlist for club ice becomes necessary. 

Please review and understand these rules prior to skating on club ice.

CFSC 2025-2026 Club Ice Rules

  1. Please check in with the monitor when taking or leaving the ice, especially those newer to club ice or those skating outside normal, contracted times.
  2. Treat the monitors with respect; they are parent volunteers that make the program possible.
  3. Except as described below, skaters must be CFSC members with a valid USFSA or Learn To Skate (LTS) USA membership.
  4. Local skaters must be Members of the Columbus Figure Skating Club in order to skate on Club Ice sessions. Local skaters who are not Members of the Columbus Figure Skating Club will be prohibited from skating on CFSC Club Ice sessions. “Guest Skater” shall henceforth be defined as a skater living farther than 50 miles from the OSU Ice Rink. Eligible non-local Guest Skaters may attend a Club Ice session once per season. 
  5. To skate independently outside of a lesson with a club approved coach, skaters MUST have passed Basic 6 or Adult 4.
  6. Credit card payments for punch card purchases outside of the contract registration period or for walk-on payments are not possible at this time.

  7. Please be courteous by remaining aware of the surroundings and yielding to skaters running a program and wearing a neon belt.

  10. If a skater needs to miss a contracted session, email the ice chair at cfscice@gmail.com in advance of the absence to receive credit for the session. Skaters not feeling well should stay home. Missed session(s) will be credited with no questions asked.
