When they get too warm they can discard a layer of clothing. Skaters should wear mittens or gloves to protect their hands and to keep them warm. Blue jeans and heavy ski pants restrict movement and are not recommended. Leggings, sweat pants or warm - up pants allow the most mobility. A single layer of tights or a thin pair of lightweight socks are best inside the skates.
Skates are very important.
The more snug the fit the better the support for your ankles. Skates should not be so tight, however, as to stop blood circulation and cause cold feet. Ornaments and decorations on the skates are not allowed. Double runner skates or hockey skates are not allowed. Skates can be purchased at most sports shops and the CFSC does have consignment sales during the year.
