Learn to Skate Basic Skills Group Lessons for Ages 7-17
Basic Skills is a six-level progression designed to give skaters a strong foundation in forward and backward skating, stops, edges, crossovers, turns, and overall control on the ice:
After completing Basic 1 & 2, skaters continue into Basic 3–6. Families who want additional hockey-focused work may also choose Hockey Skating 3–5 when scheduling allows, but it is not required for hockey development.
After completing Basic 6, skaters who wish to explore figure skating can transition into the Aspire Figure Skating program for more advanced figure skating skill development.
The Basic Skills curriculum allows skaters to progress at their own pace, advancing after demonstrating skill mastery through instructor evaluations.

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.
