Tip: How often should I sharpen my skates? |
|
It depends how often and hard you skate. You are often the best judge, try
and remember that feel of a freshly sharpened skate and when that feeling goes
then it is time to be sharpened. The rule of thumb is every 20 hours or at
least every 2 months. Make sure you take it to someone who knows how to
sharpen figure skating blades and always remember to wear your hard guards
whenever you are off the ice! |
Union Arena operates a concession with snack foods and hot and cold drinks.
All proceeds from these items goes to Union Arena not UASC. The snack bar
is not always open during UASC lesson times, but there are drink machines
available.
rink monitor:
There is a rink monitor during each skating
lesson who provides aide to any skater in need ( allowing coaches to continue
teaching), give out the Freestyle coupons during practice ice times and may
operate the portable sound system for skaters practicing competition routines.
Rink monitors sit in the skater box and watch on-ice activities. It is
essential to have someone in the box to handle the inevitable needs of both
skaters and coaches. This is a volunteer position and we encourage each
parent or guardian to watch individual skaters and the magic of the entire
program.
rink rules:
The Union Arena Skating Club is subject to
the policies of the
Union Arena Community Center. Those policies
may be found in the
Policy, Employee and Operations Handbook in
the Union Arena
Manager’s Office. To review this handbook,
please contact the
Union Arena Manager’s Office directly.
All skaters must sign a liability waiver
which states that the
participant (or parent/guardian) knowingly
and freely assume
all risks associated with skating. |
