LEARN TO SKATE FAQ’S

Skaters should wear warm comfortable clothing, thin socks that go above the ankle, and gloves.  Skaters who have never skated should wear a bike or a hockey helmet.

On the first day please arrive at least 30 minutes early to allow time for proper skate fitting and to check-in at the registration table. Skaters are grouped in lanes according to level.

Skaters will be given a skating punch pass good for six free public skating sessions good for the duration of your class session. We recommend at least one practice a week for Basic levels and 2+ days a week for Free skate levels.

We allow one to make up class per session. You can email the skating director to find out the makeup day/times.

At the end of each session on the last day, skaters are evaluated and sent home with a form that lets parents know if they are ready to advance to the next level.
