The "Snowplow Sam" levels are designed to help the preschool age skater develop preliminary coordination and strength necessary to maneuver on the ice.  snowplow Sam is a big, fuzzy, white bear who loves to skate.  A helmet is required for all participants.  We also require an Adult stay in the building during the lessons.

The "Basic Skills" are the fundamentals of the sport.  these eight levels of the program introduce moves, such as forward skating, backward skating, stops, edges, crossovers, three turns, and mohawks.  Upon completion of the Basic 1 - 8 levels, skaters will have the basic knowledge of the sport enabling them to advance to the more specialized areas of skating.

The "Freeskate" levels teach more specialized techniques.  The skater will learn advanced jumps and spins.  He/she will also gain a greater understanding for some more advanced skating elements.
