Learn to Skate is the foundation of our skating programming at The Garden Ice Arena. Every child who wishes to play hockey or figure skate needs to start with this class. We are a member of Learn to Skate USA and all skaters need to be registered with Learn to Skate USA ($16 yearly fee- This fee will be paid for partnership students enrolled in the class. They will invoice the partnership).
This program includes:
Brochure - Learn to Skate (Mondays and Saturdays)
Brochure - Learn to Skate Homeschool group lessons (Thursdays)
*Please note: it is important to make as informed a decision as possible when choosing your student's Community Resource classes. Most locations will allow a student to drop a class after one meeting, at no charge if it wasn't a good fit for the student, but not all. Some classes plan ahead based on the number that have signed up and have purchased materials, hired teachers, etc. and there might be a fee for class time or materials given to the student if the student drops after one or two meetings. The school cannot pay for classes that students do not complete, so choose wisely; if you do not take the class off of your student's schedule by the deadline, you may be asked to pay for the class time incurred prior to dropping the class.
