When can I
skate? When you choose to enroll your family in the
LRSC, we offer you the USFSA program of Skate With Us Basic
Skills. Basic Skills skating and Family Skating is held on
Wednesdays (6:15 - 8:45pm) and Sundays (3-6:30pm). Coach Jim
will place your skater in a Basic Skills group at the
beginning of the season. Please check the LRSC Information
Board for your skaters lesson time.
Can I take private
lessons? Yes. Private lessons are arranged with the
club coaches. Any club member may take private lessons after
paying the Practice Ice Fee.
We do not live in the
Devils Lake school district, can we join LRSC?
YES. You do not need to live within the Devils Lake
school district to be a member of LRSC.
When should I enroll
my skater in private lessons? Sometimes private lessons
can help a Basic Skills skater pass a level sooner or serve as
an added help on any skill a skater may want to improve upon.
If your skater would like to begin competing, they will need
to take private lessons. Taking private lessons does not mean
that you must compete.
Can my Basic Skills
skater compete? Yes. LRSC does participate in Basic
Skills competitions. You will need to enroll your skater in
private lessons after paying the Practice Ice Fee. This is a
great way to introduce your skater to competing!
I have a question for
a coach, when can I talk with them? Coach Jim will be
available before Basic Skills lessons on Wednesdays and
Sundays for questions. Please do not interrupt coaches during
lessons (except in an emergency).
What is the 24-hour
rule? The 24-hour rule is outlined in your Code of
Conduct included with your LRSC Handbook. The 24-hour rule
states that if a coach, skater or parent has a dispute that
needs to be discussed (except in an emergency situation), the
coach/parent/skater must wait 24-hours before approaching that
person by phone, email or in person. This allows all parties a
"cool down" period.
Does my skater need
to wear a helmet? LRSC STRONGLY
recommends that new skaters wear protective gear,
including helmets, elbow pads and knee pads.
Does my skater have
to participate in the Ice Show and/or Exhibitions? No.
We encourage all skaters to be a part of the show but it is
not a requirement.
Who has priority on
the ice? Skaters in a lesson have first priority on the
ice, followed by skaters doing their program. During Skate
With Us Basic Skills lessons, 1/2 of the rink will be held for
skaters in lessons. The other 1/2 will be open for family
skating.
How can I stay
updated on schedule changes? Frequently check the
LRSC Information Board at the Burdick Arena. The website will
also be updated but may not always have up-to-date schedule
changes.
I am having a problem
with another skater, what do I do? Please let one of
the coaches and/or a board member know immediately.
What is the Endowment
Fund and how do I contribute? The endowment fund was
set up to guarantee LRSC the financial means to support a
professional instructor for the club. The club receives
only the interest from the fund, therefore, as the fund
continues to grow the benefits increase. Club members have an
opportunity to contribute to the fund prior to the show each
year. You will notice on your membership dues sheet that there
is a line for donations. if you donate to the endowment fund,
you will be presented with 6 free passes to the spring ice
show to use for yourself or others. If you would like to
donate to the fund please see a board member.
Do I have to
participate in fundraisers? Yes. All club members are
asked to participate in fundraisers.
Where can I buy the LRSC
warm-up jackets and pants? The club warm-ups
are NOT required. If you would like to purchase the
warm-up they are available at Decorated Wearables in
Devils Lake.
What should I
wear? Skaters should wear clothing
that is comfortable and warm. Clothing should allow for
adequate movement. Synchro teams may be required to follow a
dress code.
