PRAISE FOR PARENT UP

Not always protecting our kids, but allowing them to own the consequences of their actions, helps them learn to be confident, empathetic, accountable, and ultimately empowered to live their best lives.
― Kristi Yamaguchi, Olympic champion and New York Times best-selling author

Parent Up reminds today's teachers, parents, and caregivers that leadership requires empathy, and the better we understand others, the better we understand ourselves.
― Michele Borba, EdD, author of Unselfie: Why Empathetic Kids Succeed in Our All-About-Me World

Parent Up gives parents the confidence to raise our children in a way that works for our families, and inspires resilience and self-sufficiency in our kids.
― Lindsay Powers, author of You Can't F*ck Up Your Kids: A Judgment-Free Guide to Stress-Free Parenting

The skating year starts July 1, 2020 and runs through June 30, 2021. You can begin your new season renewal NOW. For this year, in recognition of the difficult times that many of our members and their families are facing, we have reduced the membership fees.

Please note that The Skating Club of New York is committed to creating a safe and positive environment for members' physical, emotional and social development and ensuring that it promotes an environment free of misconduct. To further this goal, the Club requests the cooperation and agreement from all members, coaches, skaters, officials and parents, even if they are not Club members themselves. In order to renew membership, you will be asked to agree to the Skate Safe and Code of Conduct statements. There is a free course designed for the parents of athletes of all ages, which explains the issues of misconduct in sport and helps parents ensure their children have a positive and safe sport experience https://www.athletesafety.org/training/index.

UPDATE

Yesterday NYC entered Phase 1.
On behalf of The Skating Club of New York we want to update you on The 95th Annual Middle Atlantic Figure Skating Championships scheduled for September 10-13.

Sky Rink is scheduled to open July 20th, as ice rinks are in Phase 4.
We do not yet know if we will be able to hold the competition. The health and safety of our athletes, officials, and volunteers is our top priority. This is a dynamic situation, and as updated information becomes available we will be adapting the competition's format to comply with the latest guidelines. As a result, we may not be able to host our competition in its traditional format.

We will not open registration before July 20th, and will only do so if we will be able to enforce Governor Cuomo’s guidelines and the recommendations of US Figure Skating. If we are able to proceed with Mids, we will offer only IJS events (Juvenile through Senior). The 6.0 events (No Test through Open Juvenile and Excel events) will be rescheduled for another date.

Thank you for your understanding.
