Good behavior and good sportsmanship are emphasized under the guidance of the professional staff and volunteer coaches.
The Chester County Skating Club works in cooperation with the Upland Country Day School. The facilities are owned by Upland. The Club is operated and managed by a volunteer board of directors drawn from the membership of the Skating Club.
