* Music should be professionally cut for IJS level competitors.

**PPC & Music entry should be completed in U.S. Figure Skating EMS or Entry-eeze as required by the competition, by the skater or parent. Log-in information and password is required and fee is charged if you request that I do it.

Payment Policies

Payment is due at the time of the lesson, class, test or service. If you have multiple lessons per week arrangements may be made for one payment at the end of the week. If payment is not made by the end of the week, you will receive an invoice the following week with a $10.00 added fee.

Competition charges include coaching fees and travel expenses (mileage or airfare, food, lodging) as applicable. Expenses will be calculated and invoices generated for all competitions.

All invoices are due upon receipt. Those not paid within a week will begin incurring late fees at $10.00 per week.  After 30 days, late fees will increase to $25.00 per week. Payment may be made by cash, check or on-line directly through the Quickbooks invoices.

Absences, Cancellations, Vacations and Illness

Please notify us as soon as possible regarding any absences. Calls or text messages can be made to 630-310-9962 or e-mail sent to creativeiceskating@gmail.com.

Cancellations, no call - no show

Please note that private lessons are reserved times set aside for each skater.
Agreeing to attend a class or group lesson, reserves a spot in that class.
A minimum notice of 24 hours is required for all cancellations.
A no call – no show or late cancellation will incur a charge.

Vacations

Family vacations and time away are good opportunities for everyone to recharge.
Please consider upcoming events, (competitions, tests, etc.) when planning your trip. Taking time off the ice just before a big skating event can affect the skater’s performance.
Please notify me no less than 7 days before leaving

In case of unexpected illness

If the skater is sick the night before, call/text me that night, even if you are not sure a lesson will be missed - at least to give me a “heads up”.
Morning Lessons - If your child wakes up sick in the morning, call/text me immediately.
Afternoon Lessons - If you pick up your child from school and he/she is sick, call/text me immediately.
If I am not contacted in advance, I will charge for the lesson.
The skater should be without fever for 24 hours prior to skating.

We much prefer giving lessons to collecting charges for missed lessons.  Please respect our business.  We may be going to the rink just for you!

Other coaching policies

To progress and become or remain competitive in figure skating requires that the skater is dedicated and the family supportive. Certain minimums in terms of number of lessons and amount of practice are essential depending on age and level of skater.  Recommendations will be provided and are expected to be followed.

To receive the best value for each lesson requires that the skater arrive on time and remain engaged throughout the lesson.  If a child is late, arguing, being disrespectful, texting / talking on cell phone or refusing to try, then the lesson will be stopped and the skater will be asked to leave the ice.  The full lesson will still be charged.

We understand and will adhere to these policies.  Our signatures below (checking this box) constitute(s) acknowledgement.
