The Snowplow and Basic 1-6 levels are geared toward the fundamentals of skating and develops the skills necessary for recreational, figure, ice hockey, and speed skating. The Basic 7-8 and Freestyle levels develop the skills necessary for advancement into figure skating.
Beginners ages 3-5 should start in Snowplow 1. Beginners ages 6 and up should start in Basic 1.
Each student will receive one 25-minute lesson per week, and the use of rental skates during lessons.
