TOT & YOUTH
For participants ages 4-15 with little or no formal skating instruction, our group skating classes teach skating basics in a fun and comfortable environment. This program helps prepare participants for all skating goals – hockey, figure skating or recreational skating with family and friends. Start your skating journey here and continue through our affiliated organizations. Skaters will be grouped by age and/or ability as possible.
Prerequisites: Where separated, Tot sections are for 4-6 years and Youth sections are for 6-15 years. Participants must be potty trained.
