Skater Rules
General & During Freestyle Sessions
These rules are expected to be followed…regardless of age or level!
- Talking and socializing should be done before or after ice time…not while on the ice. Skaters are allowed to work in groups only if they are productive and not disruptive to other skaters.
- Do not “hang out” in the “Lutz Corners”. Keep in mind that skaters are jumping in both directions…all 4 corners are “lutz corners”.
- Be polite to and considerate of your fellow skaters. Everyone pays for their ice time. “Right-Of-Way” goes in the following order: (1) Skaters in lessons, (2) Skaters performing their program with music, (3) Higher level skaters, (4) Adults, (5) All others.
- No tantrums on the ice.
- No foul language, vulgar gestures, or negativity toward Pros, skaters, or others. Pros and/or Board members reserve the right to expel a skater from the ice.
- Spins should be done in the center of the ice unless being performed during a program or lesson.
- Programs -- Each skater may play their tape one time by placing it in line with other skaters’ tapes. If there is not a line, the skater may play their music again. Higher level skaters preparing for Regionals will be required to do back-to-back run-throughs. Guest skaters must check with the BFSC Pros on the ice prior to double runthroughs of their music. If a skater has more than one program (i.e. short program, showcase, etc.), the skater must place the tape at the end of the tape line. No more than two (2) program tapes can be in line at a time.
- Be aware of the others skaters’ patterns. Remember the “Golden Rule”…treat others how you would like to be treated.
- Gossiping is not tolerated. Should conflicts arise with other skaters, it is expected that the skaters involved will discuss and resolve their conflicts with each other. If a facilitator is necessary, contact a Board member or Pro.
- A good work ethic and positive training environment is strongly encouraged.
