Providing a fun and safe skating experience for all skaters!
Skating Academy follows the Learn to Skate USA program which combines the curriculum of U.S. Figure Skating, USA Hockey, US Speedskating and Special Olympics to offer ice skating lessons for everyone — beginners to spinners, children to adults, and figure skaters to hockey players.
Lessons focus on building skating techniques and skills for recreational skaters and those looking to advance into competitive skating.
