Here are some basic
concepts:
-
Safety first, do it right,
make it fun and they will be standing in line to get to that
Youth Meeting.
-
Open to Skateboards and
Inline skaters only. (Bikes only permitted on special days.)
-
Regular Attendees of your
Church Youth
Group (YSCA) and guests only. Guests cannot compete in
contests.
-
Different colored
wristbands (colors rotated weekly) for all skaters that will
be dated and passed out weekly at Youth Meetings.
-
All Skate Parks are to be
supervised by volunteers (parents, church leaders and older
youth group leaders).
-
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.)
-
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.
-
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?)
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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! |
