HELMETS MUST BE WORN DURING THESE LESSONS, NO CHILD WILL BE PERMITTED ON THE ICE WITHOUT A HELMET. FACE PROTECTION IS RECOMMENDED. NO DOUBLE RUNNERS.Skates should be no larger than shoe size as bigger skates hinder progress. We recommend you purchase from a good Sporting Goods shop to insure proper fit. Do not have the picks shaved off. One pair of light socks should be worn.
When lacing skates remember they should be comfortable to snug through the toe area, snug over the arch and up the leg and tight through the ankle. (use small sponges if the ankle is tender) You should be able to insert one finger down the side top of the boot, to first knuckle, when laced
Hats, mittens and a warm jacket should be worn during the lesson
Please put child’s FIRST and LAST NAMES on the FRONT of the HELMET so that it can be seen by the instructor
Children need to arrive on time for class, please arrive early so that skaters can be ready on time.
Be sure your 3 or 4 year old child is prepared to be away from you with the group for the 30 minute class.
