Really, it was the point at which Ice Girl could no longer get away with working on open skate ice.<BR/><BR/>Our coach told us to join the club when, in her words, "We couldn't put it off any longer."<BR/><BR/>If Ice Girl was on the ice just once or twice a week, I'd do what you're doing and pay walk-on fees instead of joining the club and contracting.<BR/><BR/>Good luck!Ice Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05639175462486739483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-598357895737427353.post-91865285621253545462009-01-16T05:47:00.000-06:002009-01-16T05:47:00.000-06:00Late on this post, but I am only just now getting ...Late on this post, but I am only just now getting to the wealth of information.<BR/><BR/>Question -- can anyone explain to me when and why you join a club, espeically @ age 7 still in basic skills? We have a coach and pay a bit more for ice. You would think the club would explain it to me, but they just don't.<BR/><BR/>Help!!RedShamrockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08326488158457452579noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-598357895737427353.post-3744630333441087332008-05-23T11:16:00.000-05:002008-05-23T11:16:00.000-05:00Oooh.

And really, two of the other rinks are the same distance from my house as Ice Girl's home rink, Madison Ice Arena. However, it's a pain in the rear to drive east, south, south east, really really east (Milwaukee). <BR/><BR/>There are worse things, as you'll see in tomorrow's post.Ice Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05639175462486739483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-598357895737427353.post-75201820511992672892008-05-23T07:35:00.000-05:002008-05-23T07:35:00.000-05:00There are some benefits to small towns when it com...There are some benefits to small towns when it comes to ice time as we have several options off season.

They do not usually allow jumps and spins, but my daughter can practice her edges, stroking, 3 turns, mohawks, etc.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
