Rink Monitoring: Reminder To Arrive Early

Just a reminder to please arrive 5 to 10 minutes before your rink monitor shift so that you can get set up and you are ready to begin when the package starts. Please allow the skaters about 5 minutes to warm up and then begin calling names and playing music.

If you are going to be late, please communicate that to the other rink monitor scheduled but please don’t make a habit of arriving late or assuming the other person is going to set up.  This is important so that music gets played as efficiently as possible. Also, so that there is an adult present and in charge.

Open Freestyle: Friday & Saturday Classes

Hello Skaters and Coaches,

Please consider signing up for the Learn to Skate Open Freestyle ice time on Friday and Saturday mornings. Historically, these ice times were used as open ice for skaters wanting extra practice or a time for coaches and skaters to work together. Last year we moved away from the daily drop in option to registering for the full session only. This fall session Friday Open Freestyle runs from 9/8 to 12/15 with the exception of 11/24. The Saturday Open Freestyle follows the same timeframe as the other Learn to Skate classes: 9/9-10/28. The cost is equal to $8 per skate.

Currently, we do not have enough skaters to run either session. I would like to see a minimum of five skaters registered by Noon on Thursday 9/7 to order to run the hour long skates. If we do have to cancel the classes we will inform those who are registered and refund the fee.
