Ice Skating Patch Etiquette
This information has been put together to allow you to understand
priorities during Patch Ice time, it applies to both rink
patch and to the club patch.
The basic rule to remember is that 'the skater whose
music is playing has right of way over all other skaters.'
Skaters in a lesson with a coach have right of way over those practising on their own.
Patch is for those who are working and is not the time for chatting on the ice with friends!!!
Please look out for and move out of the way of the skater whose music is playing.
No rental skates are allowed on club or rink patch ice. Thank-you
We recommend that you check with your coach before using rink patch ice as some patches may be unsuitable for beginners.
Please remember that higher level skaters may be travelling very fast and attempting doubles and triples which cover a lot of ice. For your own safety you must stay aware of skaters around you and watch out for skaters committed to a jump or spin.
Your club handbook has lots of useful information on club and rink ice, care and maintenance of boots, the role of the committee, club competitions etc. If you haven't got one yet, please pick up your free copy at the club table.
If you have any questions just ask at the club table or use the form on this site.
