Skating Lessons

Our Learn-To-Skate program is designed to prepare participants for all ice sports including; recreational skating, figure skating, hockey and speed skating.  Group lessons allow you to socialize with others while developing skills faster therefore eliminating the struggle to learn on your own.  Students are individually evaluated at the start of each session to make certain they are in the appropriate level.  A "Skate Savers Card" ($40 value) is included in the registration fee for the following classes;  Skating Tots, Levels 1-4, Alpha, Beta, Gamma, Delta, and Adult Lessons (see details below).  Cards will be mailed after the second class.  Achievement awards are presented as skaters pass each level.

  • leather, single blade hockey or figure skates which are properly sharpened
  • mittens or gloves
