The students
spend the first 5-10 minutes off ice in their skates socializing and
developing confidence through play and exercise. The next 20
minutes
is spent on the ice learning ice skating with a lot of play
included. First, the students learn how to do a controlled fall and
get back up and how to stand up and move about the ice under their
own control. Then they progress to learning the basics of skating
while keeping the experience FUN for the small skaters. Students
will skate on their own and not be held— please be patient with
your child’s progress.
Rental skates are
included in the price. Remember to bring mittens or gloves. A
helmet is also recommended.
