Registration & Preparing for Competition

Is there a training commitment for skaters who compete?

Yes.

• Skaters competing at Star 2 and above are required to add at least one morning session each week to their regular schedule.
• Skaters competing at Star 4 and above are strongly encouraged to add more than one morning session each week to their regular schedule.

How do I register my skater for a competition?

When competition registration opens:

1. The coach will contact skaters who are ready to compete to determine whether they wish to enter.
2. The coach will complete the competition registration and pay the competition entry fees on the skater’s behalf.
3. The club will invoice the skater for the competition entry fees through Uplifter.

Important: Once you register, your skater may be scheduled to compete during any of the competition days (typically Thursday to Sunday). Please ensure your skater is available for all the competition days before committing to compete. The detailed competition schedule is typically released during the week of the competition.

How much does it cost to compete?

The cost to compete includes the competition entry fee and coaching fees for their time at the competition. Competition entry fees range from $130 to $280 per event, depending on your skater’s category.

As part of RPFSC’s commitment to providing affordable skating programs, the club will cover one competition entry fee per skater per year.

Approximate entry fees are:

• Star 1: $75–$100 per event.
• Star 2 & Star 3: $130 per event.
• Star 4 (all age groups): $135 per event.
• Star 5 to Star 10: $140 per event.
• Adult Artistic & Gold Free Skate: $140 per event.

What if my skater needs to withdraw after registering?

If your skater withdraws after registration, the skater will be charged the competition registration fee unless the withdrawal is due to illness or another circumstance approved under the competition’s refund policy.
