There are three types of main memberships listed below, as well as an additional family membership.

• Basic Skills Member – Skaters Basic 8 and below.  May participate in Basic Skills Competitions only.  No FSCM voting privileges.  Skaters below the Basic 8 level may join as full Child/Parent or Adult Member if desired in order to receive voting rights and a monthly subscription to Skating Magazine.  Skaters above Basic 8 MUST join as a full club member.

• Full Member – Full membership for skaters over 18 years of age.  May participate in any competition and official USFS Test.  FSCM voting privileges.

• Child & Parent Membership – Full membership for skaters under 18 years of age that are above Basic Skills level.  Two-person full membership covering both skating child and parent.  May participate in any competition and official USFS Test.  FSCM voting privileges for parent.

Ask yourself:

• Do I believe I will pass Basic 8 sometime in the next year, if I haven’t already?
• Do I plan on taking official USFS tests?
• Would I like voting privileges within the FSCM?
• Am I skating more than twice a week?

If you answered yes to any of these questions, then you might want to consider the last two membership options.  If you are only skating once a week, perhaps stay a Basic Skills member for the next duration. If you’re not sure, just ask your coach.
