LEARN TO SKATE

Learn to Skate sessions run for 6 weeks total with 5 weeks of lessons and a celebration of completion on the final day. All sessions run for 1 hour with 30 minutes of instruction and 30 minutes of open, unguided practice in a sectioned off area. Parents are welcome to join their kids on the ice for practice time. A class schedule will be sent out before the session begins detailing which 30-minute half your lesson is on. Depending on registration, some classes may be split in half or combined. Registration fee includes rental skates and your lessons. Helmets are required. Before you register, please look at the levels and ages to see which is the best fit. 

Members: $90
Non-Members: $125

Please Note: Due to limited ice time, we do not offer makeup classes for missed days. Because of high demand for this program, we cannot hold spaces for currently enrolled participants in upcoming sessions. Registration tends to fill quickly, so please register in a timely manner.

The Y is associated with the Learn to Skate USA movement to make our skating programs more consistent and cohesive for all ages and levels. Learn to Skate USA provides a fun and positive experience for all skaters, inspiring a lifelong love of skating. With Learn to Skate USA, the Y will teach children and adults the fundamentals of ice skating while building confidence and providing a progressive curriculum that ensures success from the first steps on the ice to mastery of advanced skills. With this affiliation, we promote the health and fitness benefits of ice skating and equip each participant with the foundation necessary to reach their goal — be it recreation or competitive in nature. 

Learn to Skate for Hockey Players (Ages 4-12)

Learn to Skate Hockey teaches the fundamentals of hockey and provides the best foundation for recreational or competitive hockey. Four progressive levels introduce forward and backward skating, stops, edges, crossovers and turns with an emphasis on hockey skating. Full gear is not required for this program, as it focuses on skating skills instead of game play. Upon completion of the Hockey 1-4 levels, skaters will be able to confidently skate on a competitive or rec team.

If you do not see registration available below, we are either in the middle of a session, or registration for the session is currently full. Registration will be open every 6 weeks. If you have questions please email Learn to Skate.
