      Learn to Skate     

Looking for a new winter activity or to become a future champion?  For the beginning figure skater, hockey player, or recreational skater this program is the way to start!  Following curriculum developed by U.S. Figure Skating and USA Hockey, the Learn to Skate program is geared towards all skill levels and all ages, including:

The Snowplow Sam levels have been developed with the preschool age child (3 and up) in mind.  From falling down to backward swizzles, the focus of Snowplow Sam is to encourage the young skater to feel comfortable on the ice and have fun playing games while meeting new friends.  Once all of the Snowplow Sam levels have been completed the skater will advance to Basic 2.

For all ages, the Basic Skills levels teach the fundamentals of ice skating.  From learning how to fall down and get up to forward and backward skating to crossovers and turns, Basic 1-4 enables the beginning skater to advance into specialized areas of either figure skating or hockey.

For boys and girls ages 3 and up, Hockey 1-2 has been designed to teach the fundamentals of skating while introducing basic hockey skills and maneuvering.  Proper stance, forward and backward skating, and striding are just some of the skills covered in Hockey 1-2.  A helmet with facecage and gloves are recommended for the young hockey players.

Skating is a great lifelong, sociable  activity that can be acquired at any age.  The Adult levels have been designed to teach the fundamental skating skills with a focus on promoting physical fitness, improving balance and coordination, and advancing at an individual rate.
