Policies

Registration

All skaters must be registered and paid prior to their first day of the session with MFSC.

Memberships are non-transferable between skaters and/or sessions. Requests for credits will be considered due to specific circumstances, and must be made in writing to the Board of Directors.

All registrations are done online. All registrations must be done by the parent or adult skater (over 18 years of age).

Skaters must be registered at least 24 hours prior to the first day of the session. Payment is required to confirm registration. All members of MFSC must be registered with Skate Canada.

All StarSkaters will be required to pay an annual membership fee of $75. As per the MFSC Bylaws, MFSC StarSkaters will be referred to as, “Special Members” or as having, “Special Membership”.

Pre-StarSkate and Pre-StarSkate Academy skaters fall under the CanSkate heading and these skaters and parents/guardians of these skaters are not "Special Members" nor do they have, "Special Membership".

Refund Policy

MFSC reserves the right to cancel sessions/classes, limit the number of skaters per session/class and to change the session/class levels when necessary.

Please note that credits are given at the discretion of the Club and will not be given for days that are cancelled due to weather or circumstances beyond the Club’s control.  Credits will remain on-file for a maximum of 12 months.

Refunds will not be given if a Skater withdraws from a program for any reason. At the discretion of The Board of Directors, a credit may be considered if the Skater withdraws due to medical emergency. The $61.65 Skate Canada Fee, any Admin fees, as well as any applicable class fees will be withheld. Requests must be received in writing to the Board of Directors. There shall be no refunds or credits in the event that skating sessions are canceled due to mechanical failure or Club activities. Credits will be issued in the event that the Club must cancel sessions due to reasons beyond our control.

A $50 Admin Fee will be charged for all program changes. This includes changing to a different day, time and/or location. The only time the Admin Fee will not be applied is if a Skater advances in their current program and needs to move up to a higher level.

Make-Up Class Policy

For anyone in the CanSkate (PreCanSkate, CanSkate, Pre-StarSkate, Pre-StarSkate Academy and Teen/Adult CanSkate) program: due to our high registration numbers and to ensure quality within our programs, NO make-up classes will be allowed.

For anyone in the StarSkate (Junior, Intermediate A, Intermediate B, Senior and Adult Junior) program: due to our programming and to ensure quality within our programs, NO make-up classes will be allowed.

Program Assistant Policy

StarSkate participants who have passed all levels of STAR 1 (Dance, FreeSkate and Skills), are over 12 years old and/or have been approved by the Skating Coordinator, are highly encouraged to become Program Assistants. This provides skaters with valuable leadership opportunities and supports the Club to offer a strong CanSkate program which is vital to the overall success of the Club.

As per Skate Canada guidelines, Program Assistants are considered volunteers and not paid employees. Program Assistants must attend a required training session in September, sign up to contribute to a minimum of one class per week and notify the Skating Coordinator if they cannot attend their assigned day.

Program Assistants will be recognized by issuing a credit to their account per class, based on skills and experience as determined by the Skating Coordinator. This credit can be used toward skating fees and will be kept on their Uplifter account for 12 months. Only Mayfield Figure Skating Club StarSkate  members can volunteer as a Program Assistant unless approval is granted by the Board of Directors.

The Skating Coordinator will determine the Program Assistant schedule.
