The Skater’s Role:
- It is the skater’s responsibility to make the most of the resources put before them. The best way to do this is to adhere to the necessary basic rules of courtesy during all on-ice activities. It is the responsibility of every skater to show respect for all other skaters, their parents, the volunteers, the coaches and all officials
The Parents’ Role:
- It is your responsibility to show an active interest in your skater’s progress, to provide encouragement and to empathize when times are tough. Remember that you will play a leading role in shaping your skater’s attitudes; how they cope with success and failure, how they relate to other skaters, parents and officials and how they react to criticism. Are you setting a good example?
- Help your skater to establish his / her own skating goals; do not impose your own goals.
- Parents should never attempt to become the coach. The Coach is the professional – allow them to do their job.
- Above all, remember that your skater wanted to skate for fun and fitness. Celebrate their accomplishments and comfort and encourage them when they have a bad day.
The Coach’s Role:
- It is the Coach’s responsibility to teach and develop the skater’s technical ability
- The Coach will also act as a Role Model and will play an important role in shaping the skater’s attitudes towards skating, sportsmanship, discipline and work ethic. This will last long into their working, adult lives. For this reason, it is important that you choose a coach who you respect as both a teacher and as an individual.
The Club’s Role:
- It is the Club’s role to provide programming as well as opportunities for testing and competing.
- With the exception of the Professional Coaches, the people who manage our Club are all volunteers.
- In order to keep the Club financially sound, it is also necessary for the Club’s Executive to come up with innovative methods of fundraising. This offsets the shortfall from Registration fees, inevitable from a club the size of the P.F.S.C.
