to Skate Lessons |  |
The Rink's Learn to Skate program is dedicated to providing quality instruction. The development of strong fundamental skills will make ice skating fun for the recreational skater and prepares serious skaters for future figure skating and hockey. Classes meet once a week but eager students may register for more than one class at a time.
The
Program Supervisor and instructors keep a close eye on and record the progress
of each student, to ensure the best possible results. At the end of the class
cycle each participant receives a Certificate of Achievement outlining all the
skills they have accomplished successfully.
