Figure Skating Registration

FIGURE SKATE REGISTRATION

Please read carefully before registering with YAIA.

 

FEE INFORMATION

REGISTRATION FEES

Registration fees for skaters Pre-Alpha through Freestyle levels include additional ice time that may be utilized during the Figure Skating practice times. Times and dates are posted on the website under the Figure Skating tab.

Skaters will be tested in the 2nd week of the season to determine if they are at the appropriate level. If they test higher than the registered level, they must pay the higher-level registration fee in full.

PLAYING UP

If a skater passes up from Learn-To-Skate to Pre-Alpha or if a skater passes up from Alpha to Beta mid-season, they will be required to pay the difference in cost prorated for the second half of the season. In addition, skaters moving up from Learn-To-Skate to Pre-Alpha will be required to complete volunteer work. Please check the handbook for volunteer requirements.

FIGURE SKATING EQUIPMENT RENTAL

Equipment, including skates and knee and butt pads, are available for rent. It is recommended that skaters in levels Beta and above wear both knee and butt pads.

END-OF-YEAR PERFORMANCE FEES

All skaters participating in the second session are requested to participate in the end-of-season performance. There are no additional fees to participate in the end-of-year performance, except for the costume fees. Costume fees are due by January 31st. Performance practices will begin around February 1st.

COMPETITION FEES

Participating in competitions is strictly voluntary but is greatly encouraged. Competition registration fees are collected separately for each competition. These registration fees are due by the deadline of each competition and are based on the competition, level, and the number of events in which the skater registers. Skaters are responsible for all travel fees in conjunction with competitions.

DO NOT REGISTER FOR HOCKEY OR FIGURE SKATING UNTIL YOU ARE APPROVED/DENIED FOR REDUCED FEES

WE NEED YOUR HELP!

Volunteer duties include: concession stand, game day/performance
duties, cleaning, event help, etc. The DIBs system can be accessed via the website from the
main menu and the home page. Families can use the system to sign up for duties that work best
with their schedule. See the YAIA Handbook for a list of Volunteer Position descriptions and
position values, or click on the Volunteer Tab on the website. For consideration of credit for any
volunteer duty not listed, a request must be submitted to the Board for approval.
 
A Volunteer Commitment deposit check (post-dated 3/1/2025) is to be provided at Document Day. Players and skaters may not participate in activities until the deposit check has been
received. CREDITS ARE $20 EACH, and the total deposit depends on the level or age of the player(s)/skater(s) in the family. The deposit check is held until the end of the season and will be
shredded, as long as the volunteer commitment has been fulfilled. (You may request your
check is returned rather than shredded). Any family who does not fulfill their commitment will
have their check cashed after the April Board meeting. Volunteer credits may be earned from
April 1st to March 31st. Any extenuating hardship circumstances are evaluated on a case by case basis by the Board. Families receiving a scholarship who do not fulfill their volunteer
commitment will not be eligible for future scholarship consideration.

A volunteer deposit check (post-dated 3/1/2025) is required at "Equipment Night" (date to be determined). We will hold the post-dated check until the credits are fulfilled, and then we will shred your check. 

These credits may be worked in the concession stand, helping with games, doing maintenance work on the building, helping with the equipment rental, and a variety of other jobs that must be done for us to keep our association one of the best in the state.

A list of jobs that earn credits is available under the Volunteer Tab. Points per task can be found in the YAIA Handbook. The points system is effective from April 1 to March 30.

Fundraising (formally known as "Calendars")

YAIA has one primary fundraiser in which all families are required to participate. Families may recoup their out-of-pocket fundraising fee by selling raffle tickets for $20 each. Raffle tickets are sold for a chance to win money in the YAIA DAILY RAFFLE DRAWING.  The fundraising fee is collected during registration. Raffle tickets are disbursed on Document Day / Equipment Handout.

YAIA Daily Raffle Drawing format: Drawings are held from November 1st December 31st
(except Sundays). Completed raffle ticket stubs are returned to the red box in the locker room
hallway. Raffle ticket stubs will be drawn at random, and checks will be issued to the winners
on a weekly basis.

$50 prize awarded Monday Friday
$100 prize awarded for Saturdays
$250 prize for Thanksgiving and Christmas
$500 prize for New Year's Eve

Additional fundraising opportunities will occur at various times throughout the year. In order for
registration fees to remain among the lowest in the state, each family is strongly encouraged to
participate in additional fundraising opportunities.
