WE APPRECIATE PARENTAL PARTICIPATION IN HELPING THE COACHES
ENFORCE THESE RULES.
CAPITAL CITY RACING
TEAM RULES
BE ON TIME. WE HAVE A TIME CONSTRAINT FOR PRACTICE. THEREFORE YOU MUST TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE TIME THAT WE ARE ALOTTED. *IF FOR SOME REASON THAT THE COACHES ARE NOT ON TIME, YOU WILL NEED TO HAVE SKATES ON, PYLONS OUT AND START YOUR WARM-UP. Note- by taking initiative this will also be documented and go towards skater of the month.
PROPER DRESS ATTIRE – PROPER ATTIRE I.E. COTTON GYM SHORTS, SPANDEX OR LYCRA SHORTS. TIGHTS AND OR LONG SLEEVE T-SHIRTS WILL BE ALLOWED (WEATHER PERMITTING) EX. NO SWEAT PANTS, NO BLUE JEANS, NO CASUAL SHORTS. (THIS MEANS SHORTS, T-SHIRTS FOR THE APPROPRIATE TEMPERATURE CONDITIONS)*reasoning: a skater does not skate in sweats or baggy shorts or t-shirt at any event so why would a skater practice in this type of clothing.
PROPER SKATING EQUIPMENT3E8 ALL SKATERS MUST BE AT PRACTICE READY TO SKATE WITH PROPER WHEELS, TOE-STOPS, AND HELMETS FASTENED WHILE ON THE FLOOR. CHANGING OF WHEELS AND/OR OTHER EQUIPMENT WILL NOT BE PERMITTED ONCE PRACTICE HAS BEGUN. ONLY WITH EXCEPTION OF A SKATE PROBLEM. * BROKEN SKATE, LOOSE WHEELS, TOE STOP, OR SHOE STRING, ETC All skaters will be ready and on the floor at the time practice begins.
SKATERS NOT SKATING– IF A SKATER IS NOT PARTICIPATING OR DECIDES NOT TO FINISH PRACTICE, THEY WILL REMAIN SEATED ON THE SIDE AISLE, WATCHING, LEARNING AND/OR HELPING OUT WITH PRACTICE DRILLS. (EX. WATCHING CONES, COUNTING LAPS AND MOPPING FLOOR, etc.) IF, THAT SKATER CHOOSES NOT TO HELP OR SIT ON THE SIDE AISLE, THEY WILL BE ASKED TO LEAVE OR WAIT IN THE LOBBY.
SPEED PRACTICE AREA – DESIGNATED AS THE SIDE AISLE, THE STARTING LINE END OF THE FLOOR. NO SKATERS WILL BE PERMITTED TO BE IN THE SNACK BAR, SKATE COUNTER AREA, OR PARTY ROOM AREAS FOR ANY REASON DURING SCHEDULED PRACTICE HOURS. (IF A SKATER IS CAUGHT AT ANY TIME, OTHER THAN USING THE RESTROOM THEY WILL BE ASKED TO LEAVE OR WAIT IN THE LOBBY AREA FOR THEIR PARENTS TO ARRIVE) WE AS COACHES ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR SKATELANDS WELL BEING AND WILL NOT TOLERATE THIS.
WATER BOTTLES – ALL WATER/DRINK BOTTLES ARE TO BE KEPT ALONG THE BACK WALL AND ALL BOTTLES WILL BE PICKED UP AT THE END OF EACH PRACTICE. YOU CAN BRING YOUR OWN WATER BOTTLE/JUG FOR PRACTICES IF YOU CHOOSE. A DRINKING FOUNTAIN IS AVAILABLE AND WATER MAY BE PURCHASED BEFORE PRACTICE FOR $1.50
PRACTICE FEES – PRACTICE MONEY SHOULD BE PAID TO ONE OF THE COACHES BEFORE YOU GET ON THE FLOOR BEFORE WARM-UP DRILLS, IF THE COACHES ARE ALREADY ON THE FLOOR AT THIS TIME THEN YOU WILL BE RESPONSIBLE TO PAY BEFORE YOU LEAVE. IF A SKATER DOES NOT HAVE THEIR PRACTICE MONEY AT THAT TIME, THAT SKATER WILL BE ALLOWED TO PAY AT THE NEXT PRACTICE FOR AN INCREASE OF ONE DOLLAR, PLUS THAT DAYS PRACTICE MONEY. YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO PRACTICE UNTIL THAT PAST DUE FEE IS PAID. IN ADDITION PRACTICE FEES CAN BE PAID AT A $50 MONTHLY FEE TO ATTEND ALL PRACTICES.
PRACTICE – ALL SKATERS WILL BE EXPECTED TO PUT FORTH THEIR BEST EFFORTS AT EACH PRACTICE. GOOFING OFF, PLAYING AROUND WILL NOT BE TOLERATED. WE AS COACHES ARE STRESSING SAFETY CONCERNS FOR ALL SKATERS. IF ANY SKATER DOES NOT WANT TO FOLLOW DIRECTIONS OR INSTRUCTION, THEY WILL BE ASKED TO TAKE THEIR SKATES OFF AND LEAVE.
SKATERS DIARY/JOURNAL 3CAE8AE8 WE SUGGEST THAT ALL TEAM MEMBERS KEEP A JOURNAL/DIARY. THE DIARY/JOURNAL SHOULD BE AVAILABLE UPON REQUEST BY JIMMY ON A WEEKLY BASIS. THIS WILL HELP WITH COACHING FOR THINGS TO DO ON YOUR OWN OUTSIDE OF PRACTICE AND COMPETITIONS. I WILL REQUEST READING THESE ON A WEEKLY OR BI -MONTHLY BASIS. KEEP IT HANDY. THIS IS ALSO GOOD FOR NOTING PRACTICE IDEAS AND DRILLS. LOG EVERYTHING, DIET, HOW YOU FEEL, DID YOU HAVE A GOOD PRACTICE, IS SOMETHING BOTHERING YOU. TRUST ME, IT WILL HELP YOU ALL IN BECOMING A FUTURE CHAMPION AND BE THE BEST YOU CAN BE!
HYPER PRO DEAL BENEFITS 3E8 REQUIREMENTS ARE AS FOLLOWS:
BE A USARS CARDED CAPITAL CITY RACING MEMBER,
HAVE A CCR UNIFORM AND/OR BE ON THE LIST FOR A FUTURE UNIFORM.
BENEFITS: CCR MEMBERS WILL BE ABLE TO PARTICIPATE IN THE HYPER PRO DEAL RACING PROGRAM. THIS IS A SAVINGS ON FULL RETAIL HYPER RACING PRODUCTS ONLY. PRO DEAL ORDERS WILL BE PLACED ON A QUARTERLY BASIS. AT TIME OF ORDERING, THE MONEY WILL BE DUE TO JIMMY BEFORE THE ACTUAL ORDER IS PLACED. IF THAT AMOUNT IS NOT IN AT THE TIME OF ORDERING, YOU WILL MISS OUT ON THAT PRO DEAL ORDER.
RELAYS– PARTNERS WILL BE DECIDED BY COACHES FOR ALL COMPETTIVE EVENTS. REGIONAL PARTNERS WILL BE CHOSEN BASED ON TIME. PARTNERS FOR REGIONAL/NATIONAL EVENTS ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE UP TO THE BEGINNING OF REGIONAL/NATIONAL COMPETITION. EX: A SKATER IS ON THE 33AE8ACA9CAE8AC RELAY TEAM BASED ON TIME BUT DOES NOT COME TO SCHEDULED PRACTICES BETWEEN TIMING AND REGIONALS. COACHES HAVE FINAL DECISION ON ALL RELAYS.
COACHING ISSUES 3E8 IF A SKATER OR PARENT HAS A PARTICULAR ISSUE WITH ANOTHER SKATER OR COACH, THE COACH ON HAND SHOULD BE APPROACHED AND THAT ISSUE WILL BE TAKEN CARE OF. IF AN ISSUE NEEDS TO BE BROUGHT TO THE ATTENTION OF A PARTICUALR COACH, THEN THAT ISSUE NEEDS TO BE BROUGHT TO THAT COACH. (EX. IF AN ISSUE NEEDS TO BE DIRECTED TOWARDS JIM, THEN PLEASE APPROACH JIM WITH THE ISSUE. THE ISSUE SHOULD BE BROUGHT TO THE ATTENTION OF THE PERSON THE ISSUE INVOLVES, THIS WILL HELP SAVE ANY PROBLEMS THAT MAY ARISE FROM SECOND HAND INFORMATION)
DISCIPLINARY ACTION – ALL OF THE ABOVE WILL BE INFORCED; IF ANY SKATER DOES NOT WANT TO FOLLOW THESE RULES, DISCIPLINARY ACTION WILL BE TAKEN. DISCIPLINARY ACTION CAN BE AS FOLLOWS: EXTRA LAPS, INTENSE DRYLAND EXCERCISES, AND DISMISAL FROM PRACTICE AND/OR FROM FUTURE PRACTICES. THIS COULD ALSO RESULT IN TERMINATION FROM FUTURE MEET PARTICIPATION AND THE PRO DEAL BENEFITS AS WELL. SKATELANDS RULES ARE ALSO IN FORCE AT ALL TIMES. IF YOU ARE KICKED OUT OF THE RINK, SAME FOLLOWS WITH PRACTICE.
Parents: Please let the coachs coach!
All parents want their child to succeed. We as Coaches also want to see your child succeed. Parents must be able to respect the coaches authority over the practices and events. The Coaches of Capital City will not tolerate adults reacting inappropriately at any of our practices or events. This includes Parents criticizing or yelling at their child, other skaters, Coaches or Officials. Parents who demonstrate such behavior will be asked to leave. Every parent wants to see their child become the next champion. Praise them for trying hard and competing fairly, make them feel like a winner every time. We do not want our practices or competitions to become more about adult egos than kids enjoyment. As parents it is your responsibility to help create a positive environment for your children to train. The only person giving the skaters instructions during practice should be the coaches.
