SKATERS' CODE
Skate for the enjoyment of it, not to please your parents or coach.
Obey the rules of the West Kingston Skating Club.

CONTROL
your temper & your tongue.

WORK
equally hard for yourself & your club mates. Your club's results will reflect your own.

BE
a good sport. Cheer for all.

TREAT
all other skaters, as you would like to be treated. Do not interfere, ridicule, bully or take advantage of another skater.

CO-OPERATE
with your coach, club & fellow skaters. For without them, you wouldn't have a sport. It takes a good sport to be a good loser, but it takes an even better sport to be a gracious winner.

REMEMBER
the goals of the sport are to have fun, improve your skills & feel good.
