PARTNERS IN PERFORMANCE

Sport and recreation should always be "athlete-centered", meaning the efforts of all involved should be foremost to provide the opportunity for the athlete to learn and have fun.  This required an array of partners working together for the athlete.  Some of the key partners working together to provide that opportunity to your skater and their respective roles are:

* The Skater

The developement of the skater is the whole purpose for the existence of the club, the coach and Skate Canada.  The success of any club's on-ice activities is completely dependent on the behaviour of the skaters.

The skaters' responsibility is to make the most of the resources aput before them.  The best way for them to do this is to adhere to the necessary basic rules of couresy during all on-ice activities.  Every skater has the dury to show respect for the other skaters of the club and their parents, the volunteers, the coaches, the judges and the evaluators.  In a harmonious club atmosphere, everyone is in a position to gain maximum results from their valuable practice time.
