Our Basic Skills Program will start Sunday, October 25, 2009. The annual Ice Show and year-end banquet will be scheduled early March 2010. Please note there may be cancellations due to weather or hockey tournament conflicts. You will be contacted prior to your students lesson times.
In order to have lessons run smoothly and allow parents / guardians and skaters to be less frazzled; please arrive 15 minutes prior to lesson time. This will allow time needed for lesson preparation (i.e. asking questions, tying skates, finding that missing mitten, etc.).
US Figure Skating mandates all children 6 years old and younger MUST wear a helmet! NO helmet, NO ice, NO EXCEPTIONS. Please make sure your child does not eat or chew gum while on the ice. As listed with registration, an assigned 30-minute lesson time will be followed by a 30-minute practice time for each student enrolled.
