Coach Notice for 2009-2010
Coaches, your membership renewals have an additional step. After you renew your membership through NJFSC, your regular US Figure Skating membership is automatically renewed as well. As you did last year, you also have to go to the US Figure Skating web site to verify your liability insurance and provide information for the required background check. This step is required by all coaches who plan to have skaters test or compete for U.S. Figure Skating sanctioned events. Link for additional information.
YOUR CLUB NEEDS YOU!
North Jersey needs you! We need volunteers for the upcoming year that include: newsletter production, web site updating, club social events, assist in membership, test sessions, competitions, club treasury/accounting, club shows, fund raising, etc. We also need folks to become active members of our board of directors. Please e-mail Rick for details: rfbskate@optonline.net. NOTE TO PARENTS: Did you know that YOU must be a member in good standing with the club to have voting rights and to be on our board of directors? We will be happy to explain the process.
