We’re so excited to kick off the 2024-25 Club season and are glad you will be joining us! As we prepare the rink for opening day, we would like to share a message from our Club President, Joe DiPierro, and update you on our programs and what’s happening at the rink.
Dear CCSC Members,
I hope you have enjoyed your summer so far. Hard to believe in a few short weeks school year begins, and the rink opens to start the 2024/2025 season. Our board members, committees, and coaches have been working hard over the summer in preparation for the new season. Billy and his staff have been making provisions to start laying the ice. Thank you to all our volunteers and staff for their time and commitment that make each season possible. If you are interested in volunteering, please let your coach and/or a committee member know. Some fabulous changes are upcoming including our registration platform to TeamSnap, a newly updated user friendly website, and many enhancements to our figure skating and hockey programs. Please keep a look out for upcoming communications about the recent registration and program updates.
Sincerely,
Joe DiPierro
President—Chester County Skating Club

We’ve Changed
But it’s all good—by now you may have noticed that we have changed our Club registration system to TeamSnap. All of our programs with the exception of Cougars Hockey are available for registration via TeamSnap. Hockey registration is still managed through GameBeast but will move to TeamSnap in the future. Visit out Registration page to learn more. We’ve also been working on a new website. It’s will be even easier (we hope!) to find Club updates and programs with better navigation and more in-depth information. We hope you love it as much as we do.
Thank you for your patience as we strive to update our registration system and keep the current website updated with all of the important Club updates you rely on while we complete the new site. Stay tuned for the big announcement!
