Preparing for Competition
Your skater should look their best for competition.
She should wear a skating dress or skirt and
sweater, with beige tights. Longer hair should
be done up in a pony tail or bun and a bit of
make-up could be applied. But the most important
part of the "look" for competition is a
confident smile!

A schedule will be handed out before each
competition by your coach so you know where
to go and what time to be at the arena.
Generally you should be at the arena one hour
before your child’s first event. Your coaches and
other parents experienced with attending
competitions will gladly help guide everyone through the day!

The rule for skate sharpening is: the skater needs at least three skates on freshly sharpened blades prior to competition. Skates should be clean and the laces neatly tucked in for safety and tidiness.

If your skater is doing a freeskate, you need to bring their music with you to the competition. You will need two CDs or tapes of the program. One is a backup in case the first copy fails to play. You must hand in the music when your skater registers for their events upon arrival at the arena, at least one hour before the event. Make sure to pick the music back up again before leaving the competition as well and return it to the music room for the next practice session.
