For the benefit of our skaters we would like to ask all
parents, skaters, and coaches to observe the following guidelines so that
freestyle sessions can be a positive experience for all.
1. PARENTS: Do not "coach" or
communicate at the doors to the ice or through the glass.
Thisdistracts the skater(s) and is DANGEROUS. Please save any and all
discussions regarding practice for the car ride home.
2. Please refrain from interrupting skaters or coaches while they
are on the ice. Skaters will perform better with minimal
interruptions.
3. All skaters should show respect for coaches and other
skaters. All skaters are entitled to equal use of the ice. A
friendly and courteous "Excuse me...", works wonders in educating
new or inattentive skaters. Apologize if you accidentally
interferewith another skater's practice.
4. Skaters who are performing their program to music have the
right of way.
5. Yelling or screaming will not be permitted, anyone doing so will
be asked to leave the ice.NO PROFANITY!!!!
6. Skaters should not stand around in groups talking or
playing. Remember these sessions are for practice only.
7. Skaters must respect the ice, no kicking or intentionally
making holes in the ice.
8. Everyone must pick up after themselves (water bottles, cans,
skating equipment, etc.).
9. DO NOT practice (i.e. spins, crossovers, etc.) in the Lutz
corners. These are ALL FOUR corners of the ice surface.
Lutzes are backward jumps and the skater cannot see to avoid other skaters
in these corners.
10. KEEP MOVING. If you fall, get up immediately! DO
NOT sit on the ice If you must stop, do so only at the boards (side
walls only).
11. All coaches are responsible for monitoring rules and safety
during freestyle sessions. All suggestions or reprimands are to be
receive with sincere respect and courtesy. A skater's primary coach
is not the onlycoach with authority over a skater during freestyle
sessions.
