LEARN TO SKATE CLASSES

Our Classes

• Snowplow 1-3: This class is designed for children 3-6 years of age, who are just starting out. The main purpose of this class is to teach balance on the ice, and increase comfort on the ice.
• Advanced Snowplow/Basic 1-4: This class begins to teach a child how to correctly skate forward and backwards. They will begin understanding and using correct edges. They will also learn a beginner spin. Advanced snowplow is for ages 3-6, and Basic 1-4 is for skaters age 7 and up.
• Freestyle 1-6*: Children that have passed all the basic classes and wish to continue their progression in skating will find this class is perfectly suited for them. This is when a child begins to understand and learn the different jumps, spins, and movements in figure skating.
• Power & Style*: This class focuses on strength and endurance while working on proper technique. It also combines a class designed to help with movement and connecting steps.
• Hockey 1: Each week includes a review of skills learned in Pre Hockey/Learn to Skate and the introduction of new skills such as snowplow stop, one-foot glides, backward O's, and forward strides. From this solid base, the fundamental skills of skating, stick handling, passing, and shooting can be learned.
• Hockey 2: Each week includes a review of skills learned in Hockey I and the introduction of new skills such as v-start, stationary and moving stick handling, open ice carry, forehand and backhand passing and receiving, turning, use of feet to control puck, and stopping with the puck.
• Adult Hockey: This class is designed for ages 16 and older. It focuses on being comfortable on the ice, correct forward, backward skating, basic dance steps, edges, stopping, falling, and recovery.
