Something happens the moment your child’s skates touch the ice. It’s exciting, empowering, and builds confidence from the very first glide. Whether your goal is recreational skating, hockey, or simply enjoying time on the ice as a family, our Learn to Skate program is the best place to begin.
Learn to Skate USA is the nation’s official learn-to-skate program, developed and supported by the Olympic National Governing Bodies — U.S. Figure Skating, USA Hockey, and US Speedskating. All Ice Vault instructors are Learn to Skate USA Certified.
Whether your skater is brand-new or continuing their progression, there is always a next session coming up. Our programs run continuously through the year with minimal breaks, so families can stay on track and build skills at a comfortable pace.
- Skaters new to lessons begin in Snowplow Sam 1 (ages 3–6), Basic 1 (ages 7–17), or Adult 1 (18+).
- Hockey-bound skaters follow the same starting points and transition naturally into Hockey 3–5.
- Figure-skating–focused skaters continue into the Aspire Figure Skating program after completing Basic 6.

Classes fill quickly, and walk-ins cannot be accommodated.
This session, we’re using an updated registration system, so the registration process may look and feel a little different than in the past. All program levels, instruction, and policies remain the same.
Learn to Skate Session Registration Includes:
- 30 mins of Group Instruction weekly from Learn to Skate USA Certified Instructors
- Independent Practice Time is offered only on the same day as a skater’s scheduled class and begins when the final Learn to Skate class of the day has concluded. Practice does not begin when an individual skater’s class ends if additional classes are still in progress. Skaters may not remain on the ice between scheduled classes.
- Skate Rental is not included in tuition. Skates can be rented for $3 each week.
Double Runner Skates are not permitted - Helmets & gloves are highly recommended and not provided.
- Parents are not permitted on the ice during class time. During practice sessions only, parents may join their child after purchasing a discounted $10 practice admission and receiving a wristband from the front desk each week.
No make-up classes or trial lessons are available.
Our skating director reviews every registration to ensure the best level placement based on previous experience or LTS USA records.

Skaters that are registered for an incorrect level may be moved to the correct level based on records of instructor evaluations.
