*On ice video may only be used by staff coaches and approved guest coaches in lessons. (Skaters are not permitted to use any video while on the ice.) Coaches may only video next to or behind the rink boards.  

*Parents & guardians may record their skater only.  If you would like to review the video at the rink, this may be done in the rink lobby only.  (Video may not be reviewed on / near the ice surface.)

*No zoom lessons allowed

There have been near collisions as well as collisions due to skaters being distracted by video. This policy is in everyone’s best interest to provide a safe environment and will allow skaters to focus independently on the ice.

Parents, guardians, and guests may view sessions from the bleacher seating or lobby only.  This has always been our policy but is particularly important during COVID.  The ice entrance should never be blocked or occupied. 

Instruction may only be provided by staff and approved guest coaches.  All staff and approved guest coaches submit necessary credentials and follow protocols including carrying liability insurance, safesport compliance, and pay a coaching commission to the facility.  

Any instruction beyond this is a liability to the facility and can be distracting to skaters and coaches on the ice.  All approved coaches are well trained and qualified, and we appreciate everyone following the professional guidance of their instruction.  

The maximum number of skaters that can be in an on ice lesson together at any time is two skaters.  

All skaters must be registered for their freestyle session in order to enter the facility and attend their respective session.  Any skaters found not registered for a session will risk losing privileges to skate at Great Park Ice.  

No refunds are available for any freestyle sessions once registered.  Credits are available only with 24 hours notice.  There are no exceptions to this policy including injury and illness.  To request a credit or transfer, please email gpifigureskating@therinks.com at least 24 hours in advance.  

Music priority order:

Coach, Coach, Skater

Please write your name on the whiteboard in the scorekeepers area to put your music in line

Please wear the designated sash while your overhead music is playing

Absolutely no headphones or personal music devices may be used by skaters for everyone's safety

There is a maximum of 30 skaters allowed on the freestyle sessions except for the following times:

*Rink 2 has a max of 35 skaters (due to being an Olympic size surface)

*All basic skills freestyles have a maximum of 50 skaters

Hockey skaters will be allowed on freestyles only while in lessons (except for basic skills sessions).  (Hockey skaters may either take a lesson the entire session or get off the ice if not in lesson.)

Hockey skaters on basic skills sessions must be at the learn to skate level or in rec league (and not on club teams).  (This is similar to the policies we have for the figure skaters that cannot have passed their Pre Pre Free Skate.) 

Hockey skaters may wear helmet, knee, and elbow pads, but may not wear additional or full gear on freestyles. 

Hockey skaters looking for additional practice time may use public sessions or stick times. 

All skaters, coaches, and spectators are expected to show respect, good sportsmanship, and be courteous to others at all times.

Failure to follow professional, ethical, and respectful behavior will result in a loss of ice privileges.  

Skater in program has right of way.

No standing or talking in the middle of the ice.
