Learn to Skate

The Learn to Skate program provides a fun and positive experience that will instill a lifelong love of skating.

Designed to help youth participants develop the coordination and strength necessary to maneuver on skates. Each class consists of a 30 minute group lesson and a 30 minute practice time.

Examples of elements taught include:

• Standing up
• Forward/backward skating
• Forward/backward swizzles
• Forward one-foot glides
• Forward stopping
• And more...

Through our curriculum and our certified, passionate instructors, we build a solid skill progression to grow self-esteem while providing the resources to reach their hopes and dreams.

"Something happens the moment your kid’s skates touch the ice. It's surreal. Empowering. It’s the experience where kids learn much about skating, and themselves."
