Rules of Conduct for Freestyle Sessions

1. These are practice sessions. Socializing should be kept off the ice prior to or after the session. There will be no standing in groups

talking or skaters will be asked to disperse or leave the ice.

2. The following priority will be followed regarding right of way on the ice.

a. skaters doing their program with music over the ice

b. skaters in a lesson

c. all other skaters.

3. Please watch out for other skaters especially while skaters are

doing their program to music. This does not mean you need

to stand and watch. Use the simple rule: look where you are

going. It is the responsibility of higher level skaters to

watch out for skaters at a lower level.

4. Program music should be played from start to finish, once.

Please do not stop and restart your program as there may be

others who are waiting to have their music played. When

everyone has had their music played, you may play it again.

Be courteous. Professionals with lessons may cut in line no

more than one time per lesson when needed.

5. Please follow the standard ice etiquette for practicing jumps/

spins/teaching areas (see Ice Etiquette map). This does not

apply during programs.

6. There will be NO unsportsmanlike behavior from skaters or

observers such as kicking the ice, foul language, yelling at

other skaters to get out of the way, or intimidating behavior.

Skaters or observers who behave in such a manner will be

asked to leave the ice and/or arena and there will be no re-

funds.

7. No food or drinks other than water on the ice. No chewing

gum.

8. No sitting on the boards.

9. For safety reasons, iPods, MP3 players or any other personal

device with headphones are prohibited during freestyles

sessions.

10. Proper attire should be worn on all sessions.

11. Bleachers or lobby area should be used to observe skaters. Only qualified coaches are allowed to be in teaching areas. No relatives

or friends should cause distractions from off the ice as it could disturb other skaters/coaches. If need be, please exit the ice from

the opened entrance door to speak with parents or observers. Do not open side doors on the bleacher side please.

12. Videotaping must be done off the ice from the bleachers unless authorized to do otherwise.

The development of Rolling Hills Neighborhood Park will start with

the construction of a playground. Design is complete and the new

playground is scheduled to be installed fall/early winter 2012.

Greenway Trail Development

A .7 mile greenway trail extension from Ellis Porter/Riverside Park to the Lewis and

Clark State Office Building is complete and open for use.

Construction is currently underway to extend the greenway trail from the Leslie/

Stadium/Lafayette round-a-bout through Aurora Neighborhood Park. This new 1.1

mile section will connect Aurora Park, residential neighborhoods, the Knowles YMCA

and Jefferson City Public School District property with the existing greenway trail

running through Lincoln University campus and Community Park to East McCarty

Street. Construction is scheduled to be completed in the fall 2012.

DID YOU KNOW?

…...how fast you are walking?

To get a close estimate, count the number of steps you take

in a minute and divide by 30. For example, if you take 120

steps you would be walking about 4 mph.

THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW

Jefferson City is home to an award winning Parks and Recreation Department. As the capital city of Missouri, maintaining our local parks and recreation facilities and implementing programs to meet the ever changing needs of our community and its visitors is a challenge. The Jefferson C ity Parks and Recreation Foundation strives to provide additional resources to leverage taxes, fees and grants to enhance our parks and recreation services. Over the years, civic minded individuals and organizations have maintained a tradition of enhancing the quality of life for their families, friends, and neighbors through generous donations to the Jefferson City Parks and Recreation system. In 1992, the Jefferson City Parks and Recreation Foundation was formed to provide continuing leadership and foster the expansion of parks and recreation services in Jefferson City. The Foundation’s goal is to emphasize the value of parks and recreation - both passive and active - not only for individual growth and development, but also for a strong family unit and for making our community a more desirable place to live, work, play and visit. If you believe, as we do, that wholesome recreation pursuits make individuals more productive in their homes and communities and lead to a healthier and happier life, please commit your support to the Jefferson City Parks and Recreation Foundation. Land, trees, fountains, benches, shelters, activity fees for youth programs are all gifts that can make a difference in people’s lives. Any and all size of gifts to our community are appreciated and contribute to the livability and quality of life of Jefferson City. For more information on how you can make a tax deductible contribution of land, money, or other gifts, please contact the Foundation’s Executive Director William Lockwood at 634-6482.

Jefferson City Parks & Recreation

Foundation As a recipient of federal funds from the U.S. Department of the Interior, the Jefferson City Parks and Recreation Commission and the Jefferson City Department of Parks and Recreation operates programs subject to the non-discrimination requirements of Title VI of the 1964 Civil Rights Act. Under Title VI, the U.S. Department of the Interior strictly prohibits discrimination because of race, color, or national origin in its federally assisted programs. Any person who believes he or she has been discriminated against in any program or facility of the Jefferson City Department of Parks and Recreation, or desires further information regarding Title VI, should write immediately to: The Office for Equal Opportunity U.S. Department of Interior Office of the Secretary Washington, D.C. 20240

Equal Opportunity

In any Parks and Recreation program, a participant who is bleeding or who has blood on his/her clothing shall be prohibited from participating further in the activity until appropriate treatment has been administered. Appropriate treatment may include bandaging as necessary to prevent recurrence. This policy has been implemented to protect the participants, coaches, staff, and their families from diseases transported through the accidental contact of tainted blood. If medical care is needed, the participant must leave the activity until the problem situation has been resolved. A 70% isopropyl alcohol solution must be used to disinfect the skin and clothing. All infected areas must be thoroughly cleaned before this individual is allowed to continue participating in the activity. This may require that the player remove affected clothing and replace it in order to be able to continue participating. All participants should bring an extra shirt, pair of pants/shorts, and socks to each activity to change into in the event a blood incident should occur.

The Parks and Recreation Commission believes that no youth should be denied access to Parks and Recreation programs for financial reasons. The Parks and Recreation Foundation makes recreation sponsorships available to those who otherwise would not be able to afford to participate in organized recreation activities. Those seeking sponsorships will be asked to complete a Recreation Sponsorship Application Form available through the Department of Parks and Recreation. Sponsorships are generally limited to those receiving benefits from a form of public assistance as designated on the application form. Sponsorship funding is limited to $200 per individual per calendar year and is restricted to ongoing programs conducted by Parks and Recreation staff. Specialized programs of short duration conducted by non-staff members (e.g. baseball clinics) are ineligible for sponsorship funding. All application forms requesting funding for youth programs must be signed by the parent/guardian of the prospective participant. Participants/parents must pay a minimum of 20% of the registration fee for programs for which sponsorship assistance is requested. Questions concerning this service may be directed to Phil Stiles at 634-6482.
