Description
Beginning ice skating lessons for skaters ages 6 to 16 years old. Basic Skills teaches the FUNdamentals of ice skating and provides the best foundation for figure skating, hockey, and speedskating. Six progressive levels introduce forward and backward skating, stops, edges, crossovers, and turns. Skaters harness those skills as agility, balance, coordination, and speed become the main focus of this curriculum. Upon completion of the Basic Skills 1 to 6 levels, skaters will be able to confidently advance to more specialized areas of skating. All classes will be well-structured with the focus on proper skill development taught in a positive, FUN, and social environment. Skaters will progress at their own rate and advance after skill mastery is demonstrated. Rental skates and public skating pass included.
