Freestyle Etiquette For the benefit of our skaters we would like to ask all parents, skaters, and coaches to observe the following guidelines so that freestyle sessions can be a positive experience for all. 1.  PARENTS:  Do not "coach" or communicate at the doors to the ice or through the glass.  Thisdistracts the skater(s) and is DANGEROUS.  Please save any and all discussions regarding practice for the car ride home. 2.  Please refrain from interrupting skaters or coaches while they are on the ice.  Skaters will perform better with minimal  interruptions. 3.  All skaters should show respect for coaches and other skaters.  All skaters are entitled to equal use of the ice.  A friendly and courteous "Excuse me...", works wonders in educating new or inattentive skaters.  Apologize if you accidentally interferewith another skater's practice. 4.  Skaters who are performing their program to music have the right of way. 5.  Yelling or screaming will not be permitted, anyone doing so will be asked to leave the ice.NO PROFANITY!!!! 6.  Skaters should not stand around in groups talking or playing.  Remember these sessions are for practice only. 7.  Skaters must respect the ice, no kicking or intentionally making holes in the ice. 8.  Everyone must pick up after themselves (water bottles, cans, skating equipment, etc.). 9.  DO NOT practice (i.e. spins, crossovers, etc.) in the Lutz corners.  These are ALL FOUR corners of the ice surface.  Lutzes are backward jumps and the skater cannot see to avoid other skaters in these corners. 10.  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 only). 11.  All coaches are responsible for monitoring rules and safety during freestyle sessions.  All suggestions or reprimands are to be receive with sincere respect and courtesy.  A skater's primary coach is not the onlycoach with authority over a skater during freestyle sessions.
