The Creve Coeur Figure Skating Club (CCFSC) has developed the following ice rules and regulations for the purpose of providing safe skating conditions

​

CCFSC purchases ice from the City of Creve Coeur Parks and Recreation Department for designated periods of time. CCFSC Club ice season begins after Labor Day  and runs through May.  The club contracts ice for its skating membership in advance for each designated season, with the understanding that the membership will support the club throughout the entire season.

​

GENERAL ICE RULES AND REGULATIONS:

  1. Club ice is open to CCFSC skaters, associate club skaters and coaches in good standing with CCFSC and USFSA.  Skaters must have passed pre-preliminary moves, ISI Freestyle 2, or be instructed by a coach to be on club ice.

  2. Guests and prospective members who are USFS members in good standing are welcome to skate on CCFSC ice once at the walk-on rate. Afterwards, the skater must become a member of CCFSC to utilize club ice. Proper skating attire is required on the ice. Street clothes should not be worn.
