PRESCHOOL SKATING

About the Event

Program Details This 3-week program is intended for 3-4-5-year-olds who do not know how to skate. This is a terrific option for parents to have their child experience skating and explore ice sports such as figure skating or hockey in the future. All sessions are 30 minutes (Approximately 20 minutes of instruction and approximately 10 minutes of ice time to play and have fun on the ice.) The program's goal is to get children out on the ice on their own, stand with a skating aid, learn to fall & get up, balance, and march on the spot.   Recommended for children who are more comfortable learning alongside mom or dad. Skaters will learn basic skating skills before graduating to Learn to Skate Level 1. Teaches beginning skaters to stand up, balance, march forward & glide.    These sessions feature a 6:1 RATIO.  Due to unforeseen circumstances, there may be times when this number changes slightly.      Children are required to wear skates. Skaters can walk up and rent skates for $3 at Griff's Icehouse or purchase a punch card for all sessions for $2 per. Skaters must have a helmet and winter gloves. Shin pads, elbow pads, and snow pants are optional but recommended.  We do not have this equipment available for sale or rent at our facility.  Additional equipment is optional. Most children wear warm winter clothing (ie snowsuit and mittens) because it is cold in the facility year-round.  Note: There are no refunds or credits granted if you withdraw from this program.
