The perfect first step onto the ice for ages 6 to 12: how to fall and get back up safely, glide across the rink, and try playful moves like swizzles. A 45-minute class twice a week with skate rental included; helmets recommended. Basic 1 and 2 are the prerequisite for the hockey program. Skaters must hold a 2026-2027 Learn to Skate USA membership (learntoskateusa.com).
