Snowplow Sam Learn to Skate Group Lessons for Ages 3-6
The Snowplow Sam levels are introductory classes divided into four progressive levels. This program allows young children to build confidence while learning basic skating, fundamental movement, and physical literacy skills. Classes are taught in a safe and positive environment, incorporating fun and games to make class time an enjoyable experience.
Skaters who have not previously taken lessons must begin at Snowplow Sam 1, even if they have previously skated on their own.
All skaters must pass each level with an instructor evaluation before moving on to the next level.
After successfully completing Snowplow Sam 4, with an instructor evaluation, children can advance to Basic 3 or Hockey Skating 3.
* There are no class or practice make-ups or substitutions for any classes or practice times that you do not attend. *
