General ice rules

All skaters are required to check in with the ice monitor prior to skating. While this is primarily a skater/parent responsibility, private coaches must verify that any student in a lesson has paid for the ice on which the lesson is being given. This is especially true with
new skaters and guest skaters.

As a training center, we must maintain a working atmosphere that is free of distractions. Parents and spectators are to remain in the stands while a session is in progress. People who stand at the glass, in the team benches or interrupt a skater’s training will be asked to leave the arena.

  1. Skates must be worn on the ice at all times during ice sessions. No exceptions.
  2. When you fall on the ice, get up as quickly as possible if you are not severely injured. Sitting or lying on the ice puts you and other skaters at risk of injury. If you are hurt you will receive help immediately. Injuries sustained in the rink on club ice or off ice during club sponsored events need to fill an accident report out by the ice monitor, and a coach and signed by a parent/guardian for those under 18. accident report
  3. When your scheduled session begins you are expected to be on the ice. If you are late, you cannot stay over into the next session to make up your time. When your scheduled session ends you must leave the ice unless you are also scheduled for the next session. All skaters are skating within the time scheduled or you will be charged for an additional session.
  4. No standing idle on the ice. If you have an equipment or apparel problem, please get off the ice to make any adjustments. If you need to chat with someone, please move to the boards.
  5. No food or drink is allowed on the ice. Absolutely no glass containers in the rink area and no open containers such as coffee or soda cans are allowed on the boards. Plastic water bottles and insulated type covered containers are permitted.
  6. No alcoholic beverages, vaping, tobacco, or street drugs will be tolerated.
  7. Generally, the middle of the rink is to be used for spin practice. Please do not monopolize any specific area of the rink for prolonged periods of time.
  8. Hair should be pulled back away from your face with either various hair accessories (no bobby pins) or hairstyles that enable you to have full vision of the ice and other skaters. This is for your safety as well as all others.
  9. Skating attire must be clean and safe & appropriate for a family setting.
  10. To ensure the safety of all skaters on practice ice, skaters are prohibited from practicing synchro moves as a group, including but not limited to moves with locked arms.
  11. Headphones, earbuds & the like are not permitted on the ice.
  12. Virtual testing on club ice will follow USFS guidelines at the following link virtual testing handbook

Ice Session Etiquette

  1. Skaters, pros, monitors, parents and guests are expected to show courtesy and respect to each other both on and off the ice.
  2. Be aware of other skaters’ movement near and around you.
  3. Use of any foul language is prohibited.
  4. Courtesy and respect for other skaters, pros, parents and rink personnel are expected.
  5. Good sportsmanship should be demonstrated at all times.
  6. Advanced skaters are expected to exhibit patience toward beginner members of the club. Remember, you were an inexperienced skater once, and it takes time for our future generation to advance to the point where they are completely comfortable skating with all levels of skaters.
  7. Respect our rink staff. Clean up your mess, and leave the ice immediately when the Zamboni driver blows the whistle.

Please remember you are representing the Greater Green Bay Figure Skating Club.
Please do it in a positive way.

Right of Way
It is essential to respect the rights of other skaters and be constantly aware of who is around you.

Skaters on the harness have the right of way. Please be careful of the harness area.
The skater doing a routine to music also has the right of way. Neon belts are provided to help identify the skater whose music is being played. Please stay aware of which skater is doing their routine and do your best to stay clear of their pattern. Please wear the neon belt when you play your music to help other skaters know you are skating your routine. Please be cautious of any skaters in the harness.
Only 1 skater may wear a belt at a time
