Some tips for dressing up on skates

  • Keep the liquid blood etc at home. Anything that can drip, smudge, or end up on the floor means slippery and slimy...no good for skating
  • Avoid anything that can break and fall off, like bells, beads and other small items. Also no good for skating over.
  • Remember if your costume hangs below your knees, falling on your costume can cause tears....and tears!
  • Likewise if your costume drags on the floor, wheels can run it over and cause nasty falls. Will your costume drag under your wheels if you are doing limbo?
  • Props are cool, but maybe not to skate with if they can be dangerous. make sure you have full vison at all times
  • Lollies and gum should never be in your mouth or hands while skating. They can end up on the floor, or worse, choking you if you stumble ESPECIALLY lolly pop sticks & straws. Please also respect the stadium rules, no food is to be in the stadium, please pop outside for snacks.
  • Do not skate with children in your arms. One rule for everyone, no matter how good a skater you are
What to expect at the stadium 
  • Safe zones for beginners 
  • Water station available for bottle refills
  • No food available. No alcohol permitted
  • Please check your skates and parts for deterioration before using them. Damaged skates are not permitted and skating will be terminated for those using broken equipment
  • We can perform minor adjustments to your skates using appropriate skate tools but we cannot provide repairs requiring glue, tape, scissors etc.
  • Please remember this is a multi use facility, not a public rink. We don't have the same facilities as a rink would.
  • We skate in the same direction at all times. This is not the ice rink and not a place to skate at your fastest or do your wildest tricks.

FAQ'S

How do I use a school sports voucher?

You need to email the voucher to us and request your ticket prior to the event. Please do not ask the voucher to cover anyone other than the child the voucher has been allocated to.


Can I hire skates?
Limited skates are available


Can any skate level join in?
Yes. We do expect the newest skaters use the safe zones to the left and right of the stadium floor though. The main floor is for competent skaters. This doesn’t mean advanced skills, it just means able to keep safe and not cause significant risk to others.


Your safety and the safety of others
Shiner Town/Darwin Skate School advocates for use of safety gear, however open skate nights are at your discretion. We reserve the right to instruct anyone to wear extra safety gear who we deem at increased risk of injury and reserve the right to terminate skating of anyone who we deem to be skating in an unsafe manner towards others. This includes but is not limited to uncontrolled speed, reckless falling or flailing, unwanted grabbing and pushing of other patrons (siblings included) and in general, failing to follow instructions. Costumes must also not cause a hazard to ones self or others.


I've paid, but I cant come now. Can I use my ticket another time or get a refund?
You may sell your ticket at your own discretion. However, it will remain under the original purchaser name unless we are notified early. 

WHEELS WARNING:

Skate wheels matter. At Marrara Stadium, the floor is a sports court that is very smooth and can be slippery. If your skates have plastic, old/dry/brittle, or worn out wheels, they may not get any traction which increases the risk of suddenly slipping and injuring yourself. Low quality wheels can make it harder to skate. Darwin Skate School encourages you to consider the quality of your wheels for a better and safer skating experience.
