- Hair should be tied up or / and away from your face
- Skating dresses / skirts and tights are encouraged, especially before test days and competitions
- Leggings may be worn, but must be slim fitting so a skater’s line can be seen (bent or straight knees)
- No hoodies
- Jackets and / or tops should not be baggy as coaches need to see a skater’s line but also for safety as arms and hands can get caught up in the extra material
- Gloves or mitts (heavy mitts are discouraged for higher level skaters as its difficult to show expression)\
