Rules & Regulations for the Basic Skills Program:
Our Basic Skills Program will start Sunday, October 30, 2011. The annual Ice Show
and year-end banquet will be scheduled early March 2012. Please note there may be
cancellations due to weather or hockey tournament conflicts. You will be contacted prior to
your student’s lesson times.
In order to have lessons run smoothly and allow parents / guardians and skaters to be less
frazzled; please arrive 15 minutes prior to lesson time. This will allow time needed for
lesson preparation (i.e. asking questions, tying skates, finding that missing mitten, etc.).
US Figure Skating mandates all children 6 years old and Younger MUST wear a helmet!
NO helmet, NO ice, NO EXCEPTIONS. Please make sure your child does not eat or chew
gum while on the ice. As listed with registration, an assigned 30-minute lesson time will
be followed by a 30-minute practice time for each student enrolled. Please arrive rink side
at your assigned time and leave when the practice time is over.

help to improve and maintain our rink. We need your help! Working only one public skate
will make a huge difference!
Starting October 2011 Public Skate sessions are scheduled every Friday and Saturday evening
from 7:15 PM to 9:30 PM.
Examples of Public Skate activities include: taking admissions, working the snack bar, managing
skate rentals, checking & cleaning the bathrooms, even driving the zamboni. The Public Skate
Schedule has the Skating School assignments posted on the white board in the rink lobby. Please
take time to help our rink and have fun in the process. Your cooperation is needed and would be
greatly appreciated.
