What class should I sign up for if I have skated before?

  • Skaters who want to improve their skills for recreational skating should take Basic Skills lessons.
  • Skaters who are interested in moving into Figure Skating, Hockey Skating Skills, or Synchronized Skating should take Basic Skills lessons.
  • Skaters who want to develop skills for hockey may sign up for Hockey Skating Skills as soon as they are:
    • over the age of 10,
    • comfortable going forward,
    • stopping reliably (without the use of the boards or fellow skaters), and
    • starting to work on skating backwards.
  • Skaters who want to develop skills for hockey, but do not meet these requirements, should take Basic Skills lessons.
  • Skaters who can skate forward and backward, do front crossovers, two-foot turns and stop reliably can sign up for Synchronized Skating.
