Winter 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 Winter 2024 semester begins Tuesday, January 2nd and Saturday, January 6th. 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.
