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 general 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.
Also, make sure you pack healthy snacks for your skater, especially if there is a long drive, or a long wait between events. And don’t forget to bring a camera. Many competitions provide opportunities to buy professionally taken stills or video of your skater’s event, but it is also good to bring your own camera for candid shots and maybe even shots of your skater on the medal podium! But no matter how the competition turns out, try to make it a fun, learning experience. The life experiences gained by competing at every level make skating a truly exception sport.
