SKATE CARE

o Always wipe your blades completely dry after skating.
o Never leave your skate guards (hard guards) on your skaters for any length of time.

o Protect your blades from each other with a towel or soft coves when carried in your skate bag.

o Don’t leave your skaters in your bag overnight. They need time to dry out properly.

It is important that skates are sharp and well cared for skates. All skaters are required to wear skate guards.

Re-sharpening of skates should occur after approximately 24-30 hours of skating time and should be only sharpened at one of the above skating stores.

CLOTHING/ATTIRE

o All skaters need to wear warm but tight fitting clothing. Dress in layers. 

o No jeans should be worn by any skater at any level.
