Here are some basic concepts:

  1. Safety first, do it right, make it fun and they will be standing in line to get to that Youth Meeting.
     

  2. Open to Skateboards and Inline skaters only. (Bikes only permitted on special days.) 
     

  3. Regular Attendees of your Church Youth Group (YSCA) and guests only.  Guests cannot compete in contests.
     

  4. Different colored wristbands (colors rotated weekly) for all skaters that will be dated and passed out weekly at Youth Meetings.
     

  5. All Skate Parks are to be supervised by volunteers (parents, church leaders and older youth group leaders).
     

  6. Hours of Operation: Winter hours of operation will be? (Example: Monday, Wednesday, and Friday 2pm -- till 6pm and Saturday and Holidays 10am till 6pm. Summer hours of operation will be Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday 10am - 8pm.)
     

  7. All ramps and rails will be put away and locked when not being used. The grounds will be kept clean at all times and maintained by YSCA members. No glass containers, place all rubbish in barrels, respect each other and your park.
     

  8. Limited skater admission per session (first come first serve). Each skate sessions will be two hours. We should charge a membership fee (and possibly a nominal fee per session to make the park self-supporting?)
     

  9. All members and users must sign a waiver, which is kept on file. Parents or guardians must sign on site for children under 18. All park users must wear full protective gear: helmet, kneepads, and elbow pads.
     

  10. We offer a clean, safe, supervised environment for teens and pre-teens to exercise and socialize, and parents are always welcome to stay and watch... if they do not wish to skate.
     

  11. Parents and church members could provide funding or we could engage in other fund raising. Many local businesses will contribute materials and support. It might be a good idea to be mentored by a business or service organization (such as the Lions Club). A few calls for assistance could help us to prepare for a number of fund-raising activities to assist in reaching our financial goals.
     

  12. The mission of YSCA is to be the recognized leader in the development of Christian Skate Teams and operation of high quality, affordable and portable skate parks to be placed in church parking lots Nation wide. We focus on organized skating and to provide a safe Christian environment free of negative peer pressure. We wish to provide the Christian community with a positive, happy, and enjoyable environment where families may come together to enjoy themselves.

We will achieve the goals of this mission utilizing the following principles: honor, quality equipment and service, sportsmanship, family support, positive behavior, and above all else... Jesus Christ!
