Newbie: club ice attire 

"The one in the purple sweatshirt." Posted by Ice Mom at 8:56 AM Labels: Newbie 
That's funny...and totally how so many "ice parents" are.

I hope you've learned your lesson! I say...if you wanna skate in jeans...SKATE IN JEANS!

Well, bless your heart, Aaron. I'm giving into the peer pressure and putting ice girl in a practice skirt and tights. **Shh...** When she's on her PIC skates at the park she wears - gasp - jeans. (So do I!)

This is funny. Our coach demands the same respect a ballet teacher would get. The girls are in their dresses and tights or in a full body leotard. The hair must be in a bun and there are absolutely NO HOODIES! It is hard to teach teenagers about respect. Her daughter is the one most likely to want to wear jeans.

Don'cha just love those rebels? I love the picture of the severe coach's daughter in torn jeans and a hoodie!

From a more experienced skater, I'd say if she wants to buck tradition, go with other work-out clothes. Social stuff is different at different clubs, but the main things about jeans is they aren't easy to move in, and as Ice Girl gets further into training, skating in jeans won't be practical anymore. But that doesn't mean she has to wear a skating dress and tights - she could wear long workout pants, yoga clothes, leotards. In my day, some of use were even known to wear a leotard with tights and a pair of boys boxers over the leotard. Basically you want her in anything that allows good movement, and in the case of lessons, is tight fitting enough that the coach can observe her technique and body posture easily.

Hee hee. I'm a newbie also. My daughter attended club ice as a guest today. Guess what she wore? JEANS!

Usually I have her change when she heads to the rink, but today she came home from school, grabbed her skate bag and headed out the door with her best bud. Bad mommy forgot to remind her to change her pants! OOOPPS! I am sure some were gaping at her too. Oh well!
