Training Safety Guidelines - A Reminder!!
As we train on ice, our sessions are often busy. Safety is our priority. All skaters, and parents of younger skaters, please be reminded of our training session safety guidelines.
-
Always wear safety equipment at all times when on the ice (Racing suit or Tracksuit covering all areas, shin pads, knee pads, gloves (ideally cut resistant for main groups), neck protector, helmet, protective glasses are optional but recommended.
-
When getting on the ice move away from the barrier when safe.
-
Drinks are to be kept at the café end of the inside track apex cone. Do not skate around until the barrier doors are closed and pads in place.
-
If you are doing slow warm up laps be very aware of other skaters especially younger skaters needing to cross the ice.
-
Always skate around anti clockwise unless instructed differently.
-
No junior F, E, D skaters should cut across the track to get to the barrier unless coaches are notified and it is safe to do so.
-
Avoid the middle area of the track that we have coned off as a safe zone for younger skaters
-
Please use common sense and consider your own and other skaters safety at all times, leaving gaps between skaters if you feel necessary, if you are being overtaken then stay on the racing line close to blocks.
