LEARN TO SKATE INFORMATION

All Fall, Winter and Spring Learn to Skate group classes are held in an 8-week format on Wednesday evenings and Saturday mornings unless otherwise specified.

The Summer Learn to Skate group lessons are in a 4-week format and are held on Wednesday evenings only. Mastering all of the required skills for a particular level can be challenging in a 4-week session. It’s very common for skaters to repeat a level taken during the Summer Mini Sessions. However, if the skill level is successfully completed the skater will graduate to the next level at any given time during the session.

Pre-registration is required for all classes. Classes fill quickly!

PROPER SKATING ATTIRE

Dress in thin layers
Wear warm clothes (pants, sweatshirt, jacket-no ski suits, please)
Gloves, not mittens
One pair of thin socks- doubling up on socks or having them too thick may cause a blister
Bike helmet required for 3, 4, & 5 year olds
Figure skates-for the first time skater, these are easier to learn in because the long, flat blade provides more stability. If playing hockey is your goal, the switch to hockey skates may be made after a time of success with figure skates. Please consult your instructor.

FIRST DAY OF CLASS

Skaters should arrive 10-15 minutes prior to the start of class.
Pick up skates (know your tennis shoe size) and name tag at Skate Rental.
Instructors will give skaters their welcome packets.
