Description

Learn to Skate (Not Just for Beginners)

Mondays - 4pm-4:50pm

Ages: 5-11

This 7 week program is suitable for skaters of various abilities. You can be brand new to ice skating or have some skating experience. The goal of this program is that skaters will feel more confident on the ice, learn skills that they can continue to build upon, have fun learning a new activity, and creating an opportunity for them to feel comfortable at outdoor rinks or trying ice sports.

During the first week of the program, skaters will be evaluated on their abilities and then designated to groups with specific coaches, who are athletes from our varsity figure skating team. The groups will work on several different skill sets that are designed based on the abilities of the skaters in the group. Through fun games and activities, these qualified instructors will facilitate instruction in order to build your skater’s confidence and skating skills. We recommend that participants practice between classes, to continually improve on their skills and confidence on the ice.

Mandatory: All skaters must wear a CSA approved helmet while on the ice and they must have their own skates. For beginners, you can bring knee or other safety pads if you wish. Please do not bring any other teaching tools.

Note: This program is not designed to teach power skating or skating with hockey sticks. This is about building skills to be able to skate recreationally.

*Registration ends 2 days prior to the start date. 7 classes.

The Athletics Recreation Membership is NOT a pre-requisite to register for Kids programming. Taxes not applicable.
