LEARN TO SKATE PROGRAM
A three-level program designed for skaters who have never skated, are new to roller skating, or are getting back on wheels after time away. Skaters of all ages begin here, learning strong foundational skills in a fun and supportive environment. Our Foundations program guides skaters from their first steps on skates to confident forward skating and basic backward skating while building balance, control, coordination, confidence, and determination along the way.
Skaters Ages 3 - 99 are welcome!
Skaters under the age of 5 need to have an adult assisting them.
