We abide by and adhere to all USFS SkateSafe and the U.S. Center for SafeSport regulations, guidelines, and protocols. The SafeSport certification is free and doesn’t take long to complete.

Required SkateSafe and Background Checks
ADULT VOLUNTEERS – If you are a parent/adult volunteer, aged 18 or over, that will be assisting in any area where you may be alone with a skater, you must complete the SafeSport training and a background check. SafeSport is free and the background check is a nominal fee. Please be aware that all fees are the responsibility of the volunteer. Except *NEW* this year – if a volunteer is going to help in a Holding Room, SOI will reimburse cost for their background check.
SKATERS – All skaters that are or will turn 18 years old during the show season (March – April 2025) must complete a background check and the SafeSport certification course. These must be
completed and submitted before the first rehearsal on March 22, 2025.
