The First Day

Skaters and parents should arrive at least 15 minutes prior to their scheduled class time to give enough time to get skates on and pick up your name badge.  Name badges will be color coded to match the instructor assigned color.  Once skaters are ready to go on the ice, they may line up with their instructor for attendance.

Equipment

We provide both hockey and figure skates to Learn TO Skate Participants free of charge to use during class!  You can bring your own skates from home, but we do require a single blade skate for all skaters.
