The objectives of Learn-to-Skate program are:

* To provide a fun and safe skating experience for the beginner as well as the more advanced skater

* To teach correct technique of the simple basic elements

* To promote health and physical fitness

* To enable all participants to achieve the skills necessary to either skate for fun the rest of their lives or to move competently into the U.S. Figure Skating advanced test and/or competitive structure

Guidelines for new skaters:

·    Week 1, SNOWPLOW 1 and BASIC 1 students meet off-ice for a few basics before entering the rink with their coaches.

·     ½ hour of instruction is first, followed by ½ hour of independent practice time.

·     Most “new to the ice” skaters will move independently by the end of the 3^rd lesson. It may take a few lessons before your skater can make good use of the practice time. This is such a new experience-they need to gain confidence and they will, with your encouragement. As their skills improve, so will their practice.

·     Beginners(Snowplow 1/Basic 1)must wait until Week 4 to do a make-up class. By this time most skaters are balanced and the class numbers are not as crucial.

ALL LEVELS: The practice area is coned-off from the “class” area. Practice time is for skill improvement, not tag, racing, or other games. Safety is a priority and a skater misusing the ice may be asked to leave the practice.
