Back to School – Learn to Skate

Welcome to our participants of our Back to School Learn to Skate program. In addition to wearing face coverings, being able to social distance and follow directions, participants will be required to fall down, get up and take a few steps independently.

We have put together a short video to help participants learn these skating skills. Please watch the video prior to your first class day and practice falling down, getting up and taking a few steps with the participant.

Some additional tips:
