Mission Statement
The mission of the Learn to Skate USA Program is to provide a goal-oriented program that encourages ice skating at all levels and to enhance the quality of skating skills at these levels. The objectives of the program are:
1. Listen attentively to the coach and pay close attention to the demonstration. Then try the skill at least a couple of times. Ask your coach any questions if you don't understand and give it another try. Your coach will demonstrate the skill, break it down into easy steps, and offer a few suggestions for quick mastery.
2. Be courteous! Be aware of your surroundings and your fellow skaters by watching where you are going. Most importantly, always skate in control.
3. Please be prepared with the correct, comfortable fitting skates, warm attire and gloves or mittens.
4. Please be on time and arrive at least 15 minutes before class time!
5. Relax, smile, and have fun!
Club Parents The most important thing you can do as the parent of a figure skater is educate yourself and support your child both on and off the ice. More information is available on the USFSA website.
