STARSkate is an acronym for:
Skills, Tests, Achievement and Recognition!
STARSkate covers the 5 disciplines - skills, dance, freeSkate, artistic and synchro.
Star skaters require:
- Properly fitted skates that provide good ankle support.
- Layered clothing that allows for movement and warmth. Fitted jackets and athletic pants are recommended.
- Long hair should be tied back, with bangs secured away from the eyes.
Getting Ready for the Ice
It is recommended to arrive 15-30 minutes before ice time to:
- Warm up (running, skipping rope, etc.)
- Complete dryland exercises (jumps, spins, spirals, and more)
- Get dressed and change into dry socks
- Put on skates
- Connect with friends and enjoy time with fellow skaters
Skate Sharpening
For skaters using arena ice, a good rule of thumb is to sharpen skates every 15 to 20 hours of use. We recommend using a service that specializes in figure skate sharpening, as figure skates require a different sharpening than hockey skates.
