                                             Skate Virden Safety and Discipline Policy 

      In order to maintain the highest standard of safety on the ice and to ensure adequate working conditions for all skaters, it is expected that all skaters will abide by the following rules. These rules will be enforced reasonably by board members and the coaches. Any infraction may warrant an initial warning. Any serious infraction will result in a skater being suspended for the remainder of the day. 

1. No drinks, food or gum are permitted at the ice level. 
2. Only water bottles are acceptable. 
3. To prevent accidents, skaters must keep moving during all skating sessions. When a fall occurs, skaters are encouraged to get up immediately. 
4. Inappropriate language on or off the ice (in the dressing room) will not be tolerated. 
5. Be courteous to your fellow skaters. Please share the ice. Be careful not to step in front of others, and vie the right-of-way to others when appropriate. The skater whose free skate music is being played has the first right of way, next is the skater having a lesson. 
6. Respond immediately and courteously to directions of the coaches or ice captain.
7. Skate Virden will not be responsible for any injuries sustained during the skating seasons. 
8. Do not leave valuables of any kind in the dressing rooms. Skate Virden cannot assume any liability for loss.

18. Dressing rooms must be cleared of any debris after each session.
