All Learn to Skate participants must be registered with Learn to Skate USA before their first class. For Learn to Play Hockey, we will follow the American Development Model from USA Hockey. All coaches will be SafeSport-certified and undergo a background check.

Program Pricing & Details Our summer session includes 10 classes held on Sundays throughout June, July, and August.

Youth Classes: $130
Adult Classes: $225

June: 7, 14, 21, 28
July: 12, 19, 26

Which Program is Right for You?
1. Learn to Skate (LTS) Perfect for first-time skaters or those looking to master the basics of balance and control.

Level 1 (Ages 3-6 & 7-17): Focuses on falling, getting up, marching, and gliding.
Level 2/3 (Ages 7-17): For skaters ready for stronger strides and backward skating.
Adult (18+): A low-pressure environment for adults to learn at their own pace.
Equipment: Helmet and skates are required (limited rentals available). We also recommend gloves, shin pads, and elbow pads.
Curriculum: Learn to Skate USA Curriculum. Note: All Learn to Skate participants must be registered with Learn to Skate USA before their first class.

2. Learn to Play Hockey (LTP) is designed for those ready to transition their skating skills to the game of hockey.
Intro to Hockey: Players learn basic stick-handling, along with passing, shooting, and puck control.
Movement & Control: This level focuses on positional play, advanced shooting techniques (like the wrist shot), and team-based drills. We emphasize "hockey IQ" and preparation for competitive league play.
Equipment: A helmet with a cage, hockey skates, a hockey stick, gloves, shin pads, and elbow pads are required. We also highly recommend hockey pants and shoulder pads for extra protection.
Curriculum: We follow the USA Hockey American Development Model (ADM).
