FIGURE SKATING AT THE MAC

The McDonald Center offers freestyle figure skating sessions that run continually throughout the year. Please read the following figure skating policies.

FIGURE SKATING POLICIES

These policies are designed to uphold the integrity of the sport of figure skating and to maintain the overall cleanliness of the Harry J. McDonald Memorial Center. The policies are for professionals, skaters, and parents and we ask that you follow them for everyone’s benefit.

1. Treat other skaters, parents, and professionals with respect. Control your actions. Carelessness, language or disregard for others on or off the ice is not acceptable.
2. Clean up after yourself. This includes around the ice, the lobby, and the bathrooms.
3. Submit your sign-ups on a timely basis to ensure your place on a session and to receive your pre-registration discount. Sign-ups received after the pre-registration discount deadline (Friday before the first day of the session) are due and payable in full without discount.
4. All credits and non-payments for extra sessions must be settled prior to the next session. Sign-up sheets will not be accepted, if these are not done in advance.
5. All doctor’s excuses for illness or injury must be received within three days of skaters returning to skating. Doctor’s excuses received after three skating days will not result in a credit. Credits will be carried on the records until the next sign-up day. Credits will not be available for use, if not used by the next sign-up day or if a written request for cash refund has not been received by the next sign-up day.
6. Ice time begins as scheduled and ends as scheduled barring unforeseen problems. You are expected to follow the ice times on and off the ice as all other users do. Skaters and/or professionals remaining on a completed session five (5) minutes over will be charged for a full extra session of use and will not necessarily be allowed to remain on the ice for the complete session time.
7. All professionals are required to provide a current certificate of liability insurance naming Fire Lake Arena Management, Inc. dba Harry J. McDonald Memorial Center as additional insured. The certificate is required whether the professional teaches at Harry J. McDonald Memorial Center once a year or year round. The cost of teaching on freestyle ice is $2 per 45 minute session.
8. Repairs for damages to the McDonald Center due to negligence shall be billed directly to the skater, parent or professional involved.

If necessary, the Harry J. McDonald Memorial Center will suspend violators of policies regarding actions, language or negligence. A verbal warning will be issued for violation of any pertinent policy. It is intended that such a warning will deter future incidents. In the event of a second incident, a three (3) day suspension will be imposed. A subsequent incident will result in a 14 day suspension and a review by the manager of the Harry J. McDonald Memorial Center before being allowed to resume skating or teaching privileges.
