Professional Policy
The GFSC has a policy that the Board of Directors must approve Professionals wishing to teach on Club Ice in advance. In order to be approved, you will need to submit proof of insurance through ISI or USFS in the amount of $2 million, and proof of USFS Coaches membership, in addition to the club membership application (as home or associate member). All paperwork must be submitted to the Membership Chair who will submit your name for consideration to the Board. You must get approval from the Board before you are allowed to teach on club ice. Professionals must update this paperwork annually.
