Lessons: Thursdays, 10:00-10:30 a.m.
Practice: Thursdays, 10:30-11:00 a.m.
$68.00 for 8 weeks
This class is for ages 3-5 with no skating experience. Ideally, we would like one parent to come on the ice with the child until he/she is confident to attend independently. This class teaches the adults how to work with the child on learning ice skating elements positively. The child will learn basic skating elements including: marching, how to fall down and get back up, 2-foot glide, backward wiggle, frog hops, table tops, and forward dips with the end result being the child skating independently. Helmet required.

BEGINNERS

Beginners 1 & 2: Thursdays, 9:30-10:00 a.m.
Beginners 3 & 4: Thursdays, 10:30-11:00 a.m.
$70.00 for 8 weeks
This class is for 4-7 year olds that have had little to no skating experience. This class will progress from P.A.L.S. class as well as add new elements including forward stroking, one-foot glide, backwards skating, forward and backward swizzles, and forward crossovers all the way through the Beginners levels.

PRE-HOCKEY
Lessons: Thursdays, 9:30-10:00 a.m.
Practice: Thursdays, 10:00-10:30 a.m.
$70.00 for 8 weeks
This is for the beginning hockey player all the way through last year Mites. Skaters are taught elementary skating skills for playing hockey while focusing on increasing control, speed and refining technique.

HOCKEY TEAM CLINIC
Lessons: Thursdays, 10:30-11:00 a.m.
Practice: Thursdays, 10:00-10:30 a.m.
