Registration

Attention all skaters:

Now available for advanced registration for the new 2024-25 season are forms for both the club and non-club member (designation of member defined below) wanting to participate in a LTS class and/or Specialty.  These forms are online today, choosing the appropriate box outlined in red.  This registration will be open through May 15, 2024, holding the pricing of the current season until then.  If you have the desire to continue into next fall, this is a great opportunity to assist your budget should the pricing change.  Another perk is the offer of purchasing 2 or more sessions (not classes), and receiving a discount of $5 off each class.  The online option will do this discount for you if eligible.  Also remember that the renewal of your current LTS membership will also be due, as the current one expires June 30, 2024.  Please include that payment as well as the session payment.   The 2023-24 information below, especially the LTS schedule at the bottom of this page, may help guide you with determining the session(s) you can attend.  Questions?  Contact learntoskateusa@sycamoreisc.org for additional help.

Online registration can be done through our website.  The fillable forms are downloaded from the web, where they can be completed on your computer and emailed to learntoskateusa@sycamoreisc.org, via the link at the bottom of the form, and paid online,  clicking on the payment link also at the bottom of the form.  Follow the instructions at the bottom of the form when paying by check.

In-person registration for group lessons in Sycamore’s Learn to Skate USA program can take place anytime the club is skating at Perry Park.  This season, the club meets on Thursdays from 5:20-7:05 pm., and on Saturdays from 10:20 am-1:50 pm.  If there is a session you are considering registering for (see session dates below), it can be done at any time, but the deadline for each session is a week before the start of that session.

Thursday classes for beginning and advanced adult skaters (age 18 and up) are from 7:50 to 8:50 p.m.  (lessons are during the first 1/2 hour).  Our Saturday classes for Snowplow Sam through Free Skate 6 will be from 12:20 to 1:50 p.m.  Specialty classes will meet from 11:50 to 12:20 p.m. on all club Saturdays.   Skaters receive a 30-minute group lesson and a 30-minute practice. Exact class times may vary depending on enrollment. Skate rental is not included.

To help your understanding of  the difference between a club member and a LTS (non-club) member:  If you register for lessons, pay the LTS USFS membership fee of $22, and that is all you sign up for, you are not a club member, only a LTS USA member with US Figure Skating.  Sycamore ISC provides coaches for the lessons, and you are skating just for the hour of ice time with lessons.

A club member joins US Figure Skating as a full member with payment for a primary membership ($70) and at least one secondary member for $35 (parent membership required for those under 18) and pays the $40 club dues.  To skate on club ice sessions, a skater will also need to purchase an ice package.  For a beginning skater, or one that has just started their skating journey, club membership usually will come later as the skater develops the desire to continue skating with more opportunities such as competing and testing USFS tests.
