Club Figure Skating Session – Elementary level and above

This is a practice session for WFSC club members or visiting figure skaters and is for working on figure skating elements only.

These are not lessons. Newer skaters must be at KiwiSkate elementary level or higher and be able to manouvre around other skaters and do skid stops (eg snow plough, side stop) on the ice to avoid collisions.

Things to note:

• You will need your own figure skates – hire skates are not suitable for figure skating sessions.
• Children at elementary to novice 1 level may attend from 10 years of age
• Children at Novice 2 level or higher may attend from 8 to 9 years of age.
• Skaters at Elementary or Basic level must wear a helmet. Please see the WFSC Helmet Policy for more details.
• All those attending must familiarise themselves with the Right of Way Rules contained in the Code of Conduct and our guide to Figure Skating Session Etiquette.
• Private lesson skaters attending these sessions must be at novice level or above. Lessons via Zoom or other online media are not permitted during Club sessions.
• Wear appropriate clothing and gloves, and consider protective gear such as crash pants, knee guards or helmets. Jeans, flared/wide legged pants, extra long pants, or pants with ties/drawstrings at base of leg are not allowed to be worn on the ice.
• Headphones/earbuds are not permitted to be worn on the ice during club sessions.
• No photos or recordings of any kind are to be made of other skaters during open sessions without their permission.
• Children under the age of 14 may not be left unattended during club sessions.
