Learn to skate
10 Week Session | No Class 9/5, 9/12, 9/19, and 10/24)
Learn to Skate is a fun, structured skating program designed for participants ages 3 and up, welcoming beginners through aspiring hockey players and adult skaters alike. Over the course of a 10-week session skaters build fundamental skills such as balance, stride, stopping, and edge control, creating a strong foundation for figure skating or hockey.
Our certified coaches will group skaters by ability—not just age—to ensure the best learning experience for every participant. As skaters improve, we’ll adjust their group placement to keep them progressing confidently and safely.
