When can I
skate? When you choose
to enroll your family in the LRSC, we offer you the U.S.
Figure Skating 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). A coach will place
your skater in a Basic Skills group at the beginning of the
season. Please check the LRSC Information Board or SCHEDULES
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.
Can I skate any other time than
Family Skate times? Yes.
Members who pay the Practice Ice Fee can also skate during
LRSC pratice ice times. Please see SCHEDULES for practice ice schedules.
A practice ice schedule will also be posted by the Devils Lake
Park Board at the Burdick Arena.
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!
When is the
right time to start competing? The age
which your skater starts competing depends upon the skater
because individual competing does require private lessons and
more practice time. Lake Region Skating Club does
participate in Basic Skills competitions. Therefore, a skater
can begin competing at the snowplow level. If your skater
is interested in trying competition in a larger group/team
atmosphere we also have two competitive synchro teams.
Competitive synchro teams are for skaters that are high
basic levels and above. At the beginning of each season
we will hold an information meeting for skaters that are
interested in competing. Coaches and parents with
competitive skaters are a great source for information
about competitions. You can also contact a board member at any time
with questions.
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. Competitive skaters should wear skating
dresses or skirts with tights or other skating clothing
approved by a coach.
Pajama pants, jeans, or other inappropriate clothing is not acceptable
for competitive skaters. Synchro teams will be required to follow a
dress code.
