Learn to Skate
Our goal is to teach the fundamentals of skating using a variety of safe and enjoyable instructional techniques. The Learn to Skate Program strives to develop strong basic skating skills (i.e. forward & backward skating, edges, turns, and more) self-confidence and encourages participation at the recreational level. Learn to Skate provides exercise and enjoyment for the whole family. We want to provide you with a fun, social, and safe environment to learn and grow.
