Practice & Freestyle Session Rules

Safety on the ice is our priority. We also want to ensure that freestyle ice skaters are being mindful of other skaters while on the ice. Please review our policies and procedures before stepping into the rink. 

• All skaters must check in with the lead prior to taking the ice for any session. 

• Skaters may NOT take the ice without paying or checking in first. 

• Sessions are for skaters in intermediate or above level. No glider bars or crates are permitted.

• Skaters should not take the ice until the designated start time, and should exit the ice promptly at the end of the session when the doors open. This insures the best possible ice quality for skaters on each session.

• Spins should be practiced in the middle of the rink, jumps are usually practiced at the ends of the rink or in the corners.

• No more than 2 skaters may practice a hand hold, arm hold, or travel down the ice together at the same time unless skaters are practicing a group routine.

• Personal music players may be used with only one earpiece in, so that skaters are able to hear other oncoming skaters.

• Skaters and Professionals should make every effort to not interrupt the flow of other skaters. If you are not in motion, move to the boards.

• In the event of a fall, please get up immediately and clear the area unless injured.

• No one is allowed on the ice without skates on.

• No skater should stand in the middle of the ice at any time, unless starting or ending a program or pattern.

• Skaters doing a program have the right-of-way. Soloists must wear the colored belt to signal to the other skaters/coaches that a program is being skated. Failure to do will result in the loss of their turn.

• There are no make-ups or refunds for missed sessions

• The higher level skaters should be especially cautious of the younger, less experienced skaters.
