Enhancing your skater's development...
with the right
Equipment.
An
i-Sk8r program initiative.
Providing
you with extensive information on this site is certainly one aspect
I can help you with, however - providing the right equipment is
another. That's where the professionals in the field step in... and
I am more than happy to lead you in the right direction..
--------------------------------------------
 Does
your club have funds they want to spend?
If
your Club has been fundraising, or you have funds
that have been allocated through application of a special
grant, or otherwise... Then you may wish to consider using
the funds to benefit the skaters and coaches in your rink.
Training
tools for skaters are available. Where? You might
ask? Well, in this section I will be adding links to
companies that specifically deal with the needs of skaters.
That way, you can contact them directly and consider the
options they have available. All equipment I use throughout
the monitoring in this program will be found in the links
provided, that way, if you are interested in purchasing
anything, you will know where to get it.
Should
we be using off skate equipment?
Most
definitely. The one advantage the best skaters in the world
have over many is, the access to good equipment and
knowledge to support it. Many of the items I have purchased
come with instructional manuals or DVD's, which enhance your
ability to use the equipment and most certainly, provide
additional knowledge for both the Skaters, Coaches,
and Club's who purchase them.
How
do we get funding?
You
can start by speaking to your club rep. Ask them about any
applications they may know of for development grants via the
State or National body. Your local council may also have
access to grants available to promote 'safety in sport'.
Tell them about your plan to develop the sport and you may
be surprised with how supportive they will be! Good
luck.
Where
and how do we get such items?
I
have listed a few companies below who specifically deal with
skating equipment. More links will be added as different
materials are incorporated in to the program. I recommend
them highly and have found them to be a huge benefit to the
skaters I am working with, now and in the
past.
