One of the primary obligations that the Ice House of New Jersey Figure Skating Club (“IHNJFSC”, the “Club”) has to its members is to provide test sessions regularly.

The following policies and procedures outline how the Ice House of New Jersey Figure Skating Club will conduct its testing program.
The Club is a member of U.S. Figure Skating. The Club will conduct all tests under U.S. Figure Skating rules and regulations as outlined in its official rulebook in effect at the time of the test. Within this document, “he”, “him”, “his”, or other pronouns are used without specific reference to gender.
