General Requirements
The membership process may seem a little daunting. We promise that it’s not. It’s t̶h̶r̶e̶e̶ two organizations, all has to do with insurance, and we’ll help you glide right through it.
- All skaters must join FMSSC as a full member after their 4th session.
- All skaters must join US Speedskating (USS) as well, even if just trying the sport out.
General Participation
In order to make the most of the session, we need to be ready to put the mats on as soon as the Zamboni is done and get them off timely at the end of the session. This will require all to help. Please arrive at least 30 minutes early to help with moving mats, obtaining your skates and/or help with paperwork. If you arrive late, we may not be able to help you as we want to be on the ice and skate too!
