Code of Conduct

 

Failure to follow this Code of Conduct or SC Code of Ethics shall be subject to disciplinary action as per the Disciplinary Action section of the Club’s constitution.

 

Parents Code of Conduct

The Petawawa Skating Club, through Skate Canada, is committed to ensuring that all skaters have the opportunity to participate in a safe and welcoming environment that is encouraging and promotes their overall development. Parents have an enormous influence on skaters’ experiences in the sport. The quality of a skater’s experience is determined by their relationships with parents and the manner in which parents conduct themselves in the Skate Canada environment.

• In this code “parents” shall refer to “parents and guardians”. This code applies to all parents who are members of Skate Canada or have children who are members of Skate Canada. Parents shall abide by this code at all times while participating in any Skate Canada club or school, competition, or activity.
• All parents are expected to be a positive role model and conduct themselves in a responsible manner consistent with the values of fair play, integrity, open communication and mutual respect. Parents shall refrain from any behavior, or comments, which are profane, insulting, harassing, sexist, racist, abusive, disrespectful or otherwise offensive without hostility or violence.
• Parents -- not the coaches -- are responsible for their children, and should be present during their child’s session, particularly at the lower levels. 
• The skater’s parent should deal with inappropriate behavior, at that time.  In the absence of the parent, then the Session Representative should take the necessary action regarding the skater’s behavior.  If disciplinary action is appropriate, it will be taken by the Club Executive.
• Parents, along with the professional coach and the athlete, shall be considered members of a team whose main concern is the child’s overall progress and development.
• Parents shall ensure their son/daughter wears proper skating clothing and equipment.
• Parents shall adhere to the policies, procedures, rules, standards, and ethics of Skate Canada at all times.

 

 

 

 

 

Skaters Code of Conduct

To ensure that participation in the Petawawa Skating Club is an enjoyable and safe experience, and to help the parents get value from the money they pay, we ask skaters, parents and coaches to observe the following.  We would ask parents and coaches to review these rules with their skaters:

• Skaters should arrive ahead of the start of their session, and be changed and ready to go on the ice at the start of their session.   
• Skaters must wear appropriate skating attire during regular sessions  – no jeans.
• During skating tests, skaters must wear appropriate attire (check with your coach).
• Gum, candy, food and drink are strictly prohibited from the ice surface.  Plastic water bottles are acceptable, but must be left at the boards.  Glass bottles are prohibited.
• Profanity is strictly prohibited, in the dressing room and on the ice.
• To ensure the safety of all skaters, it is very important that skaters be aware and watchful of those around them.  A collision between skaters could result in serious injury.   There is a particular risk of injury when younger skaters share the ice with older skaters. 
• Skaters should be moving on the ice, unless they are waiting for the start of their program to be played.  (Skaters should not be standing around conversing with one another.)
• Skaters must always look both ways when leaving the boards.
• Skaters who fall should get up and out of the way of other skaters.  (No sitting on the ice.)
• The coaches determine the music played, with priority in order of request. 
• Skaters should be aware of the “right of away” priority should be given to skaters skating their solo for which their music is being played, then skaters receiving lesson from coaches.
• We look to our senior skaters to be role models for our younger athletes, on and off the ice.
