I. Preface
6.0 FSC International School of Skating and SkateGold LLC have
developed a list of designated rules to be followed while skating on
our ice. Due to the crowded nature of some of our sessions, the
rules will be strictly enforced. These guidelines have been set to
insure the safety and well being of all skaters and coaches. The
Management of 6.0 FSC International School of Skating and SKATEGOLD
LLC designates each session for specific disciplines (Free/Pairs
open, low and high, and dance). Each session is presided over by a
session monitor and/or coach in charge designated by the Executive
committee of 6.0 FSC International School of Skating and employees
of SkateGold LLC. These persons are empowered to enforce all rules
and make decisions regarding these rules. Violations of these rules
will be reported to the Executive Committee of 6.0 FSC International
School of Skating. Disciplinary procedures and polices according to
6.0 FSC International School of Skating may be instituted at the
discretion of the Executive Management of 6.0 FSC International
School of Skating and SkateGold LLC. Situations not covered by the
existing rules will be settled at the discretion of the ice monitor
or coach in charge and the attending coaches at the time of the
occurrence. These on the spot decisions will be binding to all
members and guest any appeals should be written in writing to the
executive committee for further review. It is the obligation of each
member and, in the case of skaters under the age of 18, each parent
to be familiar with these rules and the U.S. Figure Skating Rules.
II. General Behavior
1. Standing, “horseplay” and sitting on the boards is not
allowed.
2. No sitting or lying on the ice.
3. No tolerance to bad sportsmanship behavior: Bragging,
talking back to rink monitor or coaches, yelling at other skaters or
coaches, making fun of other skaters abilities.
4. Chewing Gum on the ice is not allowed.
5. Food and beverage not allowed, with the exception of clear
water in appropriate plastic sport bottles.
6. Tape players, Walkman and other devices that transmit
music are not allowed, with the exception of coaches using portable
tape players for the sole purpose of choreographing programs.
7. No props during ice time may be used unless authorized or
SKATEGOLD LLC schedules designated ice time.
8. All sessions: skates and blades are mandatory. No shoes
are permitted. Coaches not wearing skates please use caution.
9. Parents are to observe all sessions from the bleachers. No
standing by the ice coaching skaters unless you are an approved
coach of SkateGold LLC.
10. There will be no videotaping or photography without
permission from 6.0 FSC International School of Skating
International School of Skating executive committee or SkateGold
LLC.
11. You must report to the session monitor upon entering the
ice. This enables us to keep accurate records on who is skating on
what ice.
12. We request all parents to wait until after the session to
speak with coaches and to encourage skaters to remain on the ice for
the full session.
13. Disruptive behavior will not be tolerated during sessions or
off-ice classes: excessive talking, disrespect to coaches or
instructors, disruption of any group ice training or class that may
be distracting to the rest of the students.
Verbal warning will be issued for the first offense.
Repeated offenses the coach or instructor has the right to dismiss
skater from the ice or class.
14. Parents may observe off-ice programs on designated days
setup by the coaches and instructors. Please respect the privacy of
the class and cooperate with this policy.
15. Dress Code: A dress code has been established for the
respect of the professionalism of the sport.
· All skaters must be dressed in attire according to current
U.S. Figure Skating Rulebook. Females may wear skating dresses,
skirts and warm- up suits. Males may wear skating pants, slacks or
warm-ups. Pair skaters may wear unitards. Jeans, thong leotards,
bare midriffs, biker shorts are not acceptable attire.
· Any jewelry, hair ornaments or other article of apparel,
which might fall onto the ice and thereby become a hazard to other
skaters, is not permitted.
· Regional, Sectional, National and International Team
members are required to wear their club warm-ups for all
competitions and any official functions in which they are invited.
III. On Ice Etiquette (Protocol)
1. It is important of every skater to be aware of what is
going on around them at all times when skating on a session. Extra
attention must be paid to who ever is doing their program; they will
be wearing a reflective vest. Every effort must be made to give the
right-of–way to the program skater. Skaters in lessons also have the
right- of- way over non- lesson skaters. Younger skaters/less
experienced skaters must make sure they stay out of the way of the
older more experienced skater. Higher level skaters are faster and
need more ice to setup jumps. It is customary protocol to give them
the right -of –way.
2. If a skater is not skating they should stay by the boards
until they are ready to skate again. Special attention must also be
paid to skating away from the boards.
3. Keep traffic moving at all times. If you are stopping to
watch or talk to your coach, keep your back to the boards so you
don’t accidentally back into other skaters.
4. Since everyone would like the same courtesy, please
remember to be considerate. If you do get in some ones way, please
apologize promptly. If you collide, stop and assist the other
skater. Even if you are the program skater, safety must be the first
priority.
IV. Music Playing Procedure
1. Label tapes with name, and length of music. Only pre-cut
music will be played unless requested by a coach. Submit tapes to
the monitor at the beginning of the session.
2. All skaters must wear a reflective vest when their program
music is played. This lets all other skaters know who is working on
their program and ensures the skater the right of way.
3. Warm-up music and music played while programs are not
being played must be approved by SkateGold LLC.
4. Programs will begin playing 5 minutes into the session.
The monitor will play tapes according to assigned rotation for that
session. Every effort will be made to play each skater tape at
least once.
The pros will have absolute priority to the play the music.
The pro must be aware of who is in a lesson and who is not when
placing their program in line.
5. If there is no music monitor on a particular session, it
is the responsibility of the skater’s and the coaching staff to
adhere to these guidelines.
6. If you are not sure who is in a lesson then please ask the
skater or coach.
7. If there are two or more pros requesting music the same
time, the skater with the higher passed freestyle level receives the
music first.
8. Please report to the Monitor when called “ON STANDBY” in
order to put on the reflective vest. Please wait near the boards
until the previous skater has finished. Immediately assume the
starting position for your program.
*** Everyone must adhere strictly to these guidelines to avoid any
problems.
