Spring 2024 Learn to Skate Semester
Our Learn to Skate group classes are for students ages 5 to adult, beginners through advanced skaters. Classes begin with the fundamentals and progress to more advanced and specialized skills, for both figure skating and ice hockey.
Structure of Session
The Spring 2024 semester begins Tuesday, March 5th and Saturday, March 9th. This is a 30 minute group lesson followed by 30 minutes of independent practice ice**. Classes meet once a week (Skaters may choose Tuesday classes or Saturday classes when registering), and classes include skate rental.
**Practice Ice: Skaters may utilize the remaining 30 minutes following lesson time as optional practice ice, provided they are able to skate independently and without assistance. If a coach determines that a participant is unable to skate without assistance, the skater will not be permitted to stay for practice ice until they are ready to practice independently.

New skaters ages 5-6 should enroll in Snowplow 1.
New skaters ages 7-14 interested in figure skating should enroll in Basic 1.

DAYSMART: We’re Upgrading!
We are updating to a new customer portal, Daysmart!! Skaters will need to make a new account, re-sign their waiver, and register as normal. To begin, simply click the blue “Register Now” button below. Skaters will also be able to access their account and registrations through the “Daysmart Rec” app, available on mobile devices.
PARENTS/GUARDIANS: You will need to add your skater as a “child” on your account. When looking for your class, make sure you have selected the CHILD as the “participant”.
Thank you for your patience in this transition!
