Moves-in-the-Field and programs. Skaters (both figure and hockey) also use
the sessions to take private lessons.

skaters who are attending a freestyle session for the first time must be
accompanied by a private lesson instructor.

FREESTYLE
ETIQUETTE AND SAFETY RULES
1.
Sign-in and pay for freestyle sessions BEFORE you enter the ice Freestyle
sessions are limited to the first 25 skaters registered.
2. First visit to any freestyle
session MUST be accompanied by a coach to REVIEW freestyle rules.
3.
PARENTS: Do not “coach”
or communicate at doors or through glass. It distracts the skater and is
DANGEROUS. Save the discussion for off the ice.
4. Be courteous to all skaters
and coaches. **Remember** most infractions of rules are done by
accident. A
friendly and courteous “Excuse me...” works wonders in educating new
or inattentive
skaters. Apologize if you accidentally interfere with another skater’s
practice.
5. Right of Way priority is as
follows:
A.
Coaches on ice -- Coaches will make all attempts to yield to skaters
playing program music. (This is not mandatory.) Skater in a lesson is NOT
included.
B.
Skater playing program music (in lesson or not in lesson.)
C.
Skater in lesson.
D.
Skaters practicing moves or dance - since maneuvers have specific
patterns.
6. Skaters practicing their
program have the right of way. Please listen & learn what program
music sounds like & be prepared to move quickly.
7. Keep hair tied back for
better vision.
8. Always be aware of what is
happening around you. When skating forwards, beware of high level skaters
passing close to you at high speeds. Do not change direction without
checking behind you.
9. Respect other’s space. DO
NOT skate or jump too close to another skater or coach. DO NOT skate too
close to a skater who is spinning.
10. Be aware of skaters
setting up for jumps or spins and DO NOT cross their path.
11. DO NOT practice
(spins and crossovers) in the lutz corners. These are all four corners of
the ice rink. Lutz's are backward jumps and the skater cannot see to avoid
other skaters in these corners. One exception: Skaters who are practicing
Preliminary Moves in The Field - Pattern I (Crossovers) may use hockey
circles.
12. 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).
13. Socializing during freestyle
sessions is discouraged for safety reasons. Leave the ice to talk to
another skater at length.
14. When demand for program practice
is high, tapes will be put in a line. Music may only be run twice per
session unless player is not being used. This includes a skater in a
lesson. Skaters with multiple programs may only run two per session unless
the tape player is free. Dance music will be run and counted as one
program.
15. NO ONE may stop another
skater’s music.
16. Coaches have priority use of
music. When the demand for music high, a coach will play a skater’s
program who is not in a lesson.
17. When music is not being used for
programs, tape/CD player may be used for inspirational practice music.
However, volume, content and repetition must not be offensive to other
skaters or coaches.
18. Leave session
immediately when over. Do not play Zamboni tag or delay the next class or
session.
19. All coaches are
responsible for monitoring rules and safety on freestyle sessions. All
suggestions or reprimands are to be received with sincere respect and
courtesy. A skater’s primary coach is not the only coach with authority
over a skater. Rules are only to be enforced by coaches- not other
skaters.
20. Failure to follow
rules can result in expulsion from freestyle sessions.
These safety rules and courtesy
suggestions are subject to change as the need arises. If there are any
questions please discuss them with your primary coach or a member of the
coaching staff.
