MEMBER SERVICES & BENEFITS Beginning Sept. 1:


INDIVIDUAL MEMBERSHIP REQUIRED


Skaters who participate in any ISI skating program at an Administrative member rink are required to have an ISI Individual membership. Rinks may register the skaters in “bulk” or skaters can register individually through the ISI national office. Non-member facilities are not allowed to use the copyrighted ISI skating program.


REVISED TEST REGISTRATION PROCESS


The ISI Ice Skating Program is built on the solid basics of skating with a tried and true progression of tests that are attainable and provide skaters with a sense of achievement. Individuals can excel in areas not offered by other programs. ISI testing requirements have been carefully put together to develop a well-rounded skater. At the highest test levels, ISI challenges skaters to accomplish skills not normally required in the skating world, giving them a diverse and unique skill set.


Registering skater tests with the ISI national office:


• Fee is $3 per test •





Includes test patch (shipping/handling to the skater included)


Administrative members will be awarded 50 cents in ISI Bucks for each test registered
