CLINIC POLICIES
- Our classes are 40 minutes long and run for six weeks unless otherwise noted.
- Figure skates with toe picks are strongly recommended for Figure Skating Clinic. This includes the TOT Program. We strongly recommend you invest in your own skates. Rentals will be available free of charge for Tots-Basic.
- Gloves and hats should be worn. Also, a heavy sweater or short jacket is recommended for better mobility.
- Helmets are required for all participants enrolled that are 6 years old and under. Helmets are also recommended for beginner level participants (Tots, Basic 1 & 2). Helmets with cages are strongly recommended for all hockey participants.
- Discipline is necessary on the ice at all times to ensure each participant gets the most from their lesson and practice session. Children must be able to listen and take direction.
- Parents will NOT be allowed near the lesson areas or on the ice at any time. Parents are asked to stay away from the glass and ice area so they do not attract the attention of the skaters. This will help prevent disruptions to the class.
- Attendance will be taken on the ice by the skating instructor during each class. If the child misses half of the classes, he/she will not be permitted to test. There are no exceptions to this rule.
- IT IS VERY IMPORTANT THAT YOUR CHILD IS ON TIME FOR THEIR LESSON.
- The Hyannis Youth & Community Center strongly urges parents to stay during their child’s lesson. In case of an emergency, it is beneficial to have the parent/guardian present.
- If your child comes off the ice and is cold, please have him/her remain in the warming house for 5-10 minutes or until warm before sending them back onto the ice.
- It is recommended that the participants practice their skills outside of their lesson. This may be done during public skating sessions. Schedules are available monthly in the rink rental room.
- Any cancellations due to inclement weather will be announced through email, on our Facebook page, and our website.
- NO REFUNDS WILL BE ISSUED AFTER THE FIRST SCHEDULED LESSON.
- Instructors reserve the right to move a child to the appropriate level class.
- Children in Kindergarten or 5 years old and first time participants should sign up for Basic1.
