Types of Membership

Primary Home Club

Primary Home Club members (either as an individual, or for a team) hold membership in SCNV as their primary U.S. Figure Skating club, and represent SCNV when testing or competing in any U.S. Figure Skating event. Club teams include Virginia Ice Theatre and/or National Blades Synchronized Skating teams. Primary members may be considered FULL or ASSOCIATE. Full members are those skaters who subscribe to Club Ice.

Introductory Membership

Introductory members (either as an individual, or for a team) are Primary members who represent SCNV when testing or competing in U.S. Figure skating events for the first time other than Learn To Skate (LTS). If you are joining U.S. Figure Skating for the first time (i.e., you have never been issued a U.S. Figure Skating number other than a Learn to Skate USA Membership), you and your family are invited to join as an Introductory member.

Secondary Membership

Secondary membership is for skaters (either individual or team) who have a current Primary Home Club Membership and U.S. Figure Skating membership with another U.S. Figure Skating club, and are joining SCNV as their second club. Secondary Club membership does NOT include U.S. Figure Skating membership.

Primary Home Club Membership for U.S. Figure Skating Officials/Judges

Current U.S. Figure Skating Judges and Technical Panel Officials can purchase a Primary Home Club Membership at a discounted rate. Adult skaters and parents can find more information about becoming a U.S. Figure Skating Official/Judge at www.usfsa.org or by contacting SCNV Board at president@scnv.org.

Secondary Membership for U.S. Figure Skating Officials/Judges

Secondary U.S. Figure Skating Judges and Technical Panel Officials can join and purchase secondary club membership at a discounted rate. Secondary Club membership does NOT include U.S. Figure Skating membership.

Collegiate Membership

U.S. Figure Skating and SCNV offer a special membership for collegiate skaters. A four (4) year membership is available at a 75% discount off the SCNV Primary Home Club Membership cost. At the time of application, skaters must be enrolled in college. The 4-year Collegiate Membership is only available one time, no matter how long the skater remains in college. The Collegiate Membership may be transferred to another U.S. Figure Skating club one time during the 4-year membership period. If the membership is transferred, Collegiate Members will remain Secondary Club Members of SCNV for the remaining membership period.

Learn to Skate USA Membership

Skaters new to the sport of figure skating can opt for an inexpensive Learn to Skate USA membership, which allows them to join our skating community and become eligible to compete at U.S. Figure Skating Learn to Skate USA competitions. Learn to Skate USA members receive a U.S. Figure Skating Learn to Skate USA membership card and the annual Learn to Skate USA Edition of Skating Magazine. Learn to Skate USA members are NOT eligible to subscribe to or pick-up Club Ice sessions, test with U.S. Figure Skating, or receive annual SCNV Awards. The fees paid for this SCNV/U.S. Figure Skating Learn to Skate USA membership will NOT transfer as credit towards a higher-level membership during the current membership year, so if a skater will likely progress such that they will want to compete above the Learn to Skate USA levels, or take a U.S. Figure Skating Pre-Preliminary Moves or Free Skate test prior to the end of the current membership year, please purchase an Introductory membership.

ASPIRE Membership

For an introductory skating program new to synchronized Skating teams. Details TBA.

Honorary Membership

Per Board approval only. Originally for founding members of the club as recognition and appreciation for their continued support.
