​
As you progress along in your learning, we highly encourage that an hour of practice is put forth from the skater for every 30 minutes of lessons. This is not a requirement by any means, but an equation that has very effective and positive results.
We teach on public and freestyle sessions. Visit our Sessions Page to find out when skate times are occurring.
​
We ask that you please read the Skating Rules & Guidelines as well as Parent Code of Conduct.

Get to know us by visiting our Instructor Page. Our schedules and rates vary by instructor. Contact us anytime to see about availability and let us know how we can help you!
​
Skating is a fun and healthy activity; if you are an adult and would like to skate, do not let age, weight or perceived lack of ability deter you from the fun and accomplishment to be gained. In fact, there are many people who discovered skating as a recreational activity as adults.
​
With some exceptions, group lessons are mostly concerned with getting you from the "learn to skate" stage, though basic stroking and edges and then finish up with figures and edges (or dance), without getting into the more advanced jumps or spins. Even if you already know how to skate, this can be quite worthwhile, depending on the amount of individual attention from the instructor and the degree of improvement you feel from a disciplined, progressive review of the basic skills.
​
All ages and levels welcome.
​
As we look at programming- we would love to include special events for our adult skaters as well. Recreational and competitive adult skaters can enjoy the opportunity to skate in an exhibition for friends and family. Volunteer to organize a local exhibition with our club! Check out USFS' "Adults Skate Too" exhibition/promotional material.
