Milestone主办家庭报名：有意主办的家庭，请在表明表是注明，5月中询会正式确认哪几家。
报名： 为减轻工作量，今年报名略有改动，请大家配合完成下面三步（不分先后）
1. 交报名费：年费，成人班$60, 小孩每人$40 ，同一位小朋友无论上几期班或参加几次轮滑活动，全年只交一次报名费（Milestone, P2P另外交报名费）。例如，有的小朋友暑假外出时间较长，只能上一期班或参加一次活动，报名费也是$40。请用Chase Quick Pay （Zelle)付给kidsinlineskating@gmail.com (收款方：kids Inline Skating Inc)，注明“skate class+小朋友名字(英文First Last）"。
2. 签报名表：报名表pdf文件
请下载打印填表：https://drive.google.com/file/d/15YSi-kZONDt40GXam6SPhpbwci8Wx74c/view?usp=sharing
签字扫描或拍照email给kidsinlineskating@gmail.com (收表，交费都用这个email），一家有两个小孩报名，在同一个班的，可以填到一张表上，否则，请填两张表。
3. 填写统计表：填写轮滑学员以及家长的简要信息。
报名费退费：无论何种原因，开课后两周内退出者，全额退还；之后不再处理退费。
报名截止日期：所有报名均截止于2024年1月31日晚8点。企鹅班额满时，提前截止，群里通知。
报名要求：1) 能够严格自觉遵守轮滑课纪律；2) 符合年龄要求；3) 初次报名的家庭需要推荐人，一名具有两年经历的轮滑课家庭成员，请在报名表上注明；4) 自己家要有医保（万一小孩受伤，需用自己家保险支付）；
天气因素
雨天或冷天，上课/活动会取消，如果连续取消的次数过多，我们会根据情况适当补课，补课时间根据天气情况由教练选定，请家长尽量配合我们的补课时间调整。
新学员名额上限
为尽量减少安全隐患，轮滑新学员会有限制。对于新学员，我们会按报名的先后顺序进行审核录取，报名已满，将退回报名费及报名表。请没有报上名的家庭谅解。不同季度的轮滑课，新学员名额上限会略有不同，将视具体情况而定。如果本季度课没能报上名，可以试报下一季度班报名，一般是在开课前一周开始报名。
新学员轮滑设备检查
新学员请在开课前联系教练(根据报名情况，有时会统一安排），检查轮滑设备：头盔，护手，护肘，护膝及轮滑鞋。根据以往经验，多数新学员第一次课都会因轮滑设备有问题而受到影响。轮滑课不要用玩具轮滑鞋，阻力大，没法上课。另外，护具特别是头盔不全或有安全隐患的，必须等到所有问题解决之后才能上课，请家长提前准备。
往年上过课的小朋友
请家长事先检查一下你家小朋友的轮滑设备是否有问题，小朋友长得比较快，如果轮滑鞋小了，提前准备新轮滑鞋。护具，头盔有问题的，请在上课前解决。往年来上课的小朋友速度不断提高，护具对于他们来说显得越来越重要，为了尽量降低受伤的风险，请家长一定重视上课前的护具检查，确保护具没有问题并佩戴正确。
轮滑课和轮滑活动纪律

Introduction to Roller Skating Activities in 2024 and Roller Skating Class Registration Notice
In 2024, activities will continue in a manner similar to 2023, divided into on-site classes and Trail skate activities, with occasional street skating on Fridays. For beginners, there are on-site classes, and for those with experience, street skating (with intermittent technical teaching). The group codes remain the same as last year: A: Advanced Group; B: Intermediate Group; C: Beginner Group; K Group (Trail Beginners, 9 years and above); Q Group, Penguin Class (6-8 years) for on-site classes.
Groups:
Q Group: (Penguin Class, 6-8 years old) On-site training class, open to new students aged 6-8. Training focuses on new students' strength, every Monday night from 7:00 PM to 8:00 PM. Spring term (April 15 to May 26), summer term (June 1 to July 15), and fall term (July 16 to August 21), registration opens one week before the start of each term. Each class consists of 6 sessions. After registration, please attend as much as possible, preferably not less than 60%. Otherwise, consider registering for the next class. The Q class in the spring term is limited to 24 children, with a maximum of 8 new students, each family can register up to two children, minimum age 6 years old (by September 1 this year, turning 6 years old) or with basic skills at 5 years old (approval required in advance), and a maximum of 8 years old (by September 1 this year, turning 8 years old).
Penguin Class Content: Mainly focused on training with minimal teaching, including 1) Continuous skating in circles; 2) Technical exercises (turns, braking, overcoming obstacles); 3) Relay games. Class time: Every Monday night from 7:00 PM to 8:00 PM.
Class locations: Randomly selected locations such as Creekside Middle School faculty parking lot (3525 W 126th St, IN 46032) and nearby areas to avoid conflicts with others. For example, it might be West Clay Elementary School parking lot.
Penguin Class Start Date: April 15, 2024, Monday. In case of weather issues, if a class cannot be held, it will be postponed to the next Monday or rescheduled at an appropriate time, decided by the coach.
K Group: Starting from 9 years old (and above), Trail Beginners, route: Skating from Monon Center to 96th Street round trip, 4-mile route.
Format: Group activity focused on practice, parents walking or biking along. Safety education, start-up, braking, and turning demonstrations will be provided in the first two sessions to help everyone get started. After that, the coordinator will gather participants once a week. Time: Every Sunday afternoon at 6:30 PM, starting from April 21; Meeting point: Monon Center. Penguin Class (Q Group) can join this activity based on their situation.
Beginner Group C: Starting from April 21, ending in late September, with the option to choose between K Group and B Group. If the number of participants is high, a separate group may be formed. New children joining this group should be able to brake proficiently, overcome obstacles, and have a certain speed of 8mph (otherwise, consider registering for K Group or Q Group). Group C will have on-site classes based on everyone's skill level to correct movements. Time: Every Sunday afternoon at 6:30 PM, starting from April 21; Meeting point: Monon Center.
Intermediate B/Advanced Group A (AB Group): Every Sunday afternoon at 6:30 PM, covering more than 10 miles, lasting one to two hours, starting from April 21 and ending in late September. It includes both intermediate and advanced skaters, covering basic routes in Carmel and some routes in surrounding cities (not fixed). The assembly point for Carmel's basic route is tentatively set at Monon Center parking lot, while other route assembly points will be notified separately. A, B groups need leaders and volunteers for sweepers. Parents are encouraged to join as leaders/sweepers, and non-skating parents can lead and sweep on bikes. If there are no leaders and sweepers, the day's activity will be automatically canceled. English versions of Sunday activity notices for A, B, K groups will be posted on the skating calendar. It is recommended for children who were part of A and B groups in previous years to register for this group. New children joining this group should be cautious unless they have good previous experience. This group requires the ability to handle unexpected events on the road in real-time. Depending on the situation, A, B groups may have on-site classes, relay training, skill enhancement, and attendance will be recorded. If there are classes, the day's skating activity will be canceled. Minimum requirements for A group registration: Complete a half marathon (21 km or 13.1 miles) within 1 hour, referred to as "half marathon in one hour," based on race results. If there are no results, please self-test: Complete the round trip from 146th Street to 86th Street on Monon within 1 hour (including crossing the road). B group's minimum requirement is temporarily set at 16 km/h or 10 mph (based on a 1-hour test). The above regulations are mainly to avoid some children in the group training excessively while others have insufficient training.
Cross-group Rules: Fast groups can join slow groups, but not Q group. When slow groups try skating with fast groups, parents must follow along. The order from slow to fast is QKCBA.
Huangpu Adult Roller Skating Class: Four sessions this year, with a decision in June whether this class will continue.
Annual Activities: Picnic, Friday Night, Milestone, P2P, Halloween, Winter Roller Skating Gathering, Roller Skating Competition, and other activities are mostly the same as in previous years. Notices for activities will be communicated in advance.
Milestone Host Family Registration: Families interested in hosting Milestone, please indicate on the form. The confirmation will be made in mid-May.
Registration: To reduce workload, there are slight changes to registration this year. Please cooperate with the following three steps (order doesn't matter):
Pay the registration fee: Annual fee of $40 per person. Regardless of how many sessions a child attends or how many skating activities they participate in, the registration fee is only paid once a year (separate fees for Milestone and P2P). For example, if a child will be away for an extended period during the summer and can only attend one session or activity, the registration fee is still $40. Pay using Chase Quick Pay (Zelle) to kidsinlineskating@gmail.com (recipient: kids Inline Skating Inc), indicating "skate class + child's name (English First Last)."
Sign the registration form: Download the PDF form here. Print and fill out the form. Scan or take a photo of the signed form and email it to kidsinlineskating@gmail.com (use this email for both form submission and fee payment). If a family has two children registering for the same class, they can fill out one form. Otherwise, please fill out two forms.
Fill out the enrollment form: Provide brief information about the roller-skating students and their parents by filling out the statistics form.
Registration fee refund policy: Full refunds will be issued for withdrawals within two weeks after the start of the classes; no refunds will be processed thereafter.
Registration deadline: All registrations must be completed by 8:00 PM on January 31, 2024. If the Penguin Class (Q group) reaches full capacity, early closure will be announced in the group.
Registration requirements:
Strict adherence to roller-skating class discipline.
Meeting age requirements.
First-time registrants require a recommender, a family member with two years of roller-skating class experience. Please specify the recommender on the registration form.
Families must have medical insurance for potential injuries to be covered.
Weather considerations: Classes/activities will be canceled in case of rain or cold weather. In the event of multiple consecutive cancellations, make-up classes will be scheduled at the coach's discretion. Parents are encouraged to cooperate with the rescheduling of make-up classes.
New student enrollment limit: To minimize safety risks, there will be restrictions on the enrollment of new roller-skating students. Enrollment will be reviewed in the order of registration, and if the class is full, registration fees and forms will be refunded. Families without successful registrations are requested to understand. The enrollment limit for new students may vary by quarter, depending on specific circumstances. If unable to register this quarter, consider registering for the next quarter, usually starting one week before the classes begin.
New student roller-skating equipment check: New students should contact the coach before the start of classes (arrangements may be made based on registration), to inspect roller-skating equipment: helmet, gloves, elbow pads, knee pads, and roller skates. Based on past experiences, most new students are impacted during the first class due to issues with their roller-skating equipment. Toy roller skates with high resistance are not suitable for class. Additionally, protective gear, especially helmets with safety issues, must be resolved before attending classes. Parents are advised to prepare in advance.
Returning students from previous years: Parents, please check your child's roller-skating equipment in advance. As children grow quickly, if roller skates are too small, prepare new ones in advance. For protective gear and helmets with issues, please address them before class. The speed of children who attended classes in previous years continues to increase, making protective gear increasingly important. To minimize the risk of injury, parents must pay attention to the pre-class inspection of protective gear and ensure that it is in good condition and worn correctly.
Roller-skating class and activity discipline: Parents, especially those with new students, please read the roller-skating class discipline before registration and explain it to your child:
Class rules as of April 1, 2018
Discipline: Follow the coach's instructions, attend classes seriously, and prioritize safety. Avoid collisions as much as possible. Deliberate collisions or tripping others intentionally are not allowed. If unintentional collisions or trips occur, timely apologies are required. Mutual assistance and learning are encouraged. Discrimination and bullying of new and younger team members are not allowed.
Warning and penalty regulations: Divided into yellow card warnings and red card penalties.
Yellow card: Only a warning, no penalties, up to two times. This includes (but is not limited to): 1) Failure to apologize after intentionally colliding with or tripping others; 2) Verbal warnings for the same mistake twice or more.
Red card: Penalties (Red card penalties). Accumulate one red card: One-week suspension. Accumulate two red cards: 26-week suspension (equivalent to six months). Accumulate three red cards: Permanent cancellation of all future registrations related to roller-skating, including (but not limited to) roller-skating training classes, activities, Milestone, P2P, etc.
Accumulated red cards: Red cards only increase and do not decrease. Once a red card is received, it remains valid permanently.
Red card penalties include (but are not limited to): 1) Two ineffective yellow card warnings; 2) Intentionally performing dangerous actions that threaten the safety of others; 3) Bullying new team members or younger members; 4) Both parties involved in a fight receive a red card, regardless of who initiated it.
Roller-skating class coaches, daily leaders, and sweepers all have the right to issue verbal warnings, yellow card warnings, or propose red card penalties. Red card penalties require confirmation and a vote for approval.
