Skating class descriptions:

Lil' Skaters Parent & Child

This class is recommended for children with little or no skating experience and who require assistance to stand on the ice. The focus of this class will be teaching balance, posture and learning to stand up on the ice. Parents wearing skates must be comfortable enough on skates to physically support their child who may not yet be sturdy or balanced on the ice. Parents who are not stable on skates must have ice grippers on their shoes or boots for safety. There is a limited supply of ice grippers available to borrow during this class. ONE parent or caregiver per child is permitted on the ice per class.

Lil' Skaters Step 1

To participate in this class, children are required to stand and walk on the ice with little or no assistance from the instructor. It is also an independent class where skaters are to follow instructions on the ice in a group setting. If the skaters are neither holding their balance on the ice nor following instruction, then the "Parent and Child" class is highly recommended. The fundamental movements of skating are introduced in this class, including skating forward, walking backward and turning, stopping and jumping. Various activities such as action songs, teaching aids and games are used to ensure a fun learning environment.

Lil' Skaters Step 2

This class is a great choice for those who have already taken Lil' Skaters Step 1 or for those with previous skating experience. Further development of fundamental movements of skating is taught during this class: skate forward, skate backward, turns, stops and jumps. Balance and edge development are also introduced. Skill circuits, teaching aids and games are used to ensure a fun learning environment.

Lil' Skaters Step 3

This is a fast-paced class and is designed for those who have already taken Lil' Skaters Step 2. This class can also be taken by those who have previously taken other skating lessons and have learned the fundamental movements of skating. Skaters will be taught forward cross-overs, backward stride, side stops, tight glides and edge development. Skill circuits, teaching aids and games are used to ensure a fun and learning environment.
