| ISD 191 High School Lettering Program... |
This program allows skaters who are ISD 191 students grades 9 through 12 who are Home Club
Members of the BMVFSC to earn a Varsity Letter in figure skating by meeting certain criteria during
- Must be a Home Club member-in-good standing of the BMVFSC & US Figure Skating
- Must contract at least 150 hours during the season (from June 1st through May 31st) - [Buy-ins
DO NOT count toward lettering)
- Must attain a US Figure Skating Juvenile Freeskate test level
- Must participate in a minimum of three (3) "public" US Figure Skating sanctioned events: one
of which must be a US Figure Skating sanctioned competition, one of which must be the
annual Impressions on Ice show (which is sanctioned), and the third may be the skaters choice
of s US Figure Skating sanctioned competition, ice show, or exhibition (and, yes, the
Firemuster Exhibition DOES count - it was sanctioned)
- Must attempt at least one US Figure Skating official test per skating season
- Must meet the criteria for participation in District 191 sports programs including completing an
eligibility form and have a sports qualifying physical form on file at the school, and pay a non-
refundable activity fee of $45 to BHS
- Must adhere to all school district rules, policies, and requirements concerning student activities
including attendance, conduct, scholastic standing, and other eligibility requirements.
PLEASE NOTE: If the skater fails to adhere to any of the school district requirements,
the skater forfeits the right to letter for that season.
Although this is the first proposal of its kind in this school district, similar programs exist in other
districts. The program is approved on and annual basis and reviewed for renewal by the ISD 191
School Board each year. This program honors the commitment and skill of student athlete skaters
and enables student skaters to earn recognition in the form of a varsity letter. Official high school
athletic recognition is important to college applicants. The time demands of figure skating often
prevent a student's participation in much of the regular high school varsity sports programs. Varsity
participation is often viewed as a measure of success by colleges and universities.
This is a wonderful opportunity for our club. If you are a student in the ISD 191 school district grades
9-12 and you are interested in participating in this lettering program, please contact Paula Nelson.
