I hereby release the Kansas City Figure Skating Club and Silver Blades Figure Skating Club, along with their officers and members, from any responsibility for injuries suffered during club ice.  I agree to abide by the clubs’ regulations, ice rules, music procedures, and to pay ice fees in a timely fashion according to the contract terms and conditions.

All parties, skaters and parents, have read and agree to all rules and conditions detailed in the JoCo Club Ice Information Sheet and Contract.

The Clubs reserve the right to cancel, limit or reschedule ice sessions, as deemed necessary - including the right to convert any free style session to an open session or to cancel a session due to lack of contracts. Funds paid for sessions cancelled/converted will be credited to club ice contracted account and any balance will be refunded after the end of the contract period.
