Club Policies

ALL Full-Club skaters under the age of 12 are REQUIRED to have a parent or guardian at the rink at all times while they are on the ice. The monitors are not babysitters. Situations arise where ice can become unavailable and your child could be left alone without an adult.

ALL Learn-To-Skate skaters are REQUIRED to have a parent or guardian at the rink at all times while they are on the ice.

Safe skating is essential. During each skating session, the monitor is authorized to order a person from the ice for cause.

All club members are expected to behave responsibly and to be considerate of other skaters at all times. Low level and high level skaters must be aware of each other at all times or serious accidents can and will occur. Monitors, parents, and skaters: BE ALERT!!

Many falls on the ice can be prevented if one assumes a safe attitude and is considerate of others. Any foreign objects on the ice surface can provide a dangerous fall. No personal music devices, food, candy, gum, or beverages are allowed on the ice.

Most serious accidents around ice rinks occur OFF the ice. Running with or without skates, on the off-ice surfaces is the major contributor to these accidents. NO running or horse play is allowed in the rink area. Racing and rough activity on the ice will not be tolerated.

Ice use is to be in accordance with the posted schedule. When your time period is over, please leave the ice immediately. Parents please assist and cooperate on this matter.

Learn To Skate skaters only skate on Learn To Skate allotted times and full club members cannot skate during Learn To Skate allotted time.

Skaters taking a lesson should be given the right-of-way. Try to stay out of the way of the pros and their students. Do not talk to the pros while they are giving a lesson to someone else. Skaters skating to program music being played have the right-of-way, keeping in mind skaters that may be in a lesson.

Group lessons will start on time. Skaters should arrive 15 - 20 minutes early to have their skates on properly.

Free skaters should not intrude on ice areas where lessons are being conducted.

No standing on the ice to talk.

Practice spins should be done in the center of the rink. This, of course, does not include spins done during the course of practicing your program.

Skaters who have passed the "Basic 6" level or who are 12 years of age or older, are eligible to move to Full Club membership.
