Policies, Procedures, Forms & Links

We ask that you all adhere to some common courtesy rules to keep our rink friendly and avoid unnecessary collisions...

1. Look over your shoulder when skating backwards

2. There is a yellow line painted on the ground at the end of the rink. Spectators are not permitted to stand between this line and the barrier. The ends of the rink are where the more advanced skaters are practising their jumps. If people are standing their talking it can cause unnecessary congestion and accidents, especially when the higher level skaters are performing their routines. If you wish to speak to someone on the ice, please do so further around at the sides of the rink.

3. Please do not stand on the ice talking unless it is to your coach. Move to the sides or off the ice for conversations and catchups with friends.

4. If you fall please get up asap to avoid unnecessary risk to both yourself and others.

5. Coaches have priority over the music.

6. Please do not play your music over and over - try to limit it to a maximum of 3 times per session.

7. A yellow vest is to be worn at all times when playing your music. No exceptions.

8. Please GIVE WAY to skaters wearing the yellow vest.

9. Most importantly - Please respect all skaters, coaches & rink staff at all times !

In addition to these common courtesy rules, all skaters must read and sign the
