Club Test Policies

Test Session Capacity & Waitlist

We do our best to accommodate as many skaters and tests as possible. If test session registration exceeds capacity:

1. Additional ice time may be added if possible.

2. If bumps are needed, priority will be based on:

   • Memorial Figure Skating Club of Houston members

   • Order of entry (earlier first)

   • Ice/judging requirements (including specialty panels)

   • Other factors at the Test Chair’s discretion (e.g., upcoming event needs)

 

Waitlist
If the session is full but before the deadline, email test@memorialfsch.org with:

• Test(s) & level(s)

• Skater & coach name

• Parent/guardian name & phone (if under 18)

Joining the waitlist does not guarantee entry.

 

Schedule

• The schedule will be finalized before the test date and sent to coaches and skaters/legal guardians. The schedule will also be posted at the rink on test day.

• ​The posted schedule is subject to change. Coaches of affected skaters will be notified, and skaters should confirm their test time with their coach.

 

Test Day

• The rink usually opens 30 minutes to 60 minutes before the start of the session.

• While the club strives to run the session according to schedule, the session can run early or late. Skaters should arrive at least 1 hour before their event.

• Please help us maintain a calm and supportive environment during the test session so skaters can focus.

​

Withdrawal

If you cannot attend your test:

• Email test@memorialfsch.org as soon as possible.

• If you are withdrawing on test day, the skater, parent/guardian, or coach should let the Test Chair know as soon as possible.

• Refunds are only given if the skater withdraws because of an injury. 

• For any other reason, your fee may be applied as a credit toward the next test session. Please coordinate this with the Test Chair.

​

No-Show / No Inform
Skaters who do not appear for their scheduled test and fail to notify the Test Chair before hand or on the day of may forfeit their test fee in which no refund or credit will be issued.

​

Contingent Tests

Some tests must be taken in a specific order, and it is the responsibility of the skater and their coach to know the applicable U.S. Figure Skating rules. When applying for a contingent test, please note that the test fee will be forfeited if the test cannot be taken.
