What is Skate School & Who Can Take Classes?

Skate school is group classes where skaters learn how to ice skate! These classes teach the basics and some advanced skills in ice skating and give skaters the foundations for figure skating, hockey or speed skating! It also teaches skaters to be safe and confident on the ice at a reasonable cost so people new to ice skating can try it out! Classes are fun, progress in levels and skating is a life sport! Sometimes “Skate School” is called Learn to Skate.

We offer classes for skaters ages 2 through 12 years old!

The Mission of Our

Skate School

We proudly partner with Learn to Skate USA! It is recognized as the world’s best ice skating program and is endorsed by USA Hockey, US Figure Skating and US Speed Skating. Our Skate School mission is the same as Learn to Skate USA’s: to provide a safe and positive experience that will instill a lifelong love of skating.

Curriculum

Our curriculum for Skate School follow the Learn to Skate USA curriculum! Click the buttons below to see the detailed list of skills for each set of type of class.

Because our skate school runs all year long, skaters are evaluated to see if they pass into the next level every fourth class they attend! Skaters may be moved up at any time though, so that they stay excited and challenged on the ice!

Features of Our Skate School

Classes are 30 min long and skaters can also practice in the PRACTICE END of the ice when they aren’t in class during Skate School time~ that is free extra skating time!

Our COACHES are HIGHLY QUALIFIED! All coaches have their certification in Learn to Skate USA, are background checked and have completed Safesport training. Coaches are given continuous training on skate school techniques throughout the year and are high achieving skaters themselves. Most of our coaches have received gold medals in some aspect of skating! Even our high level coaches enjoy working with grassroots level skaters!

Our CURRICULUM is highly progressive. Not only do we begin teaching higher level skills as soon as skaters are ready, we also teach edges at an early age and use other techniques to help skaters learn more complicated skating skills at a younger age.
