Snowplow Sam 1-4 invites children age 6 and younger to learn the joys of ice skating in a safe, introductory setting. Young skaters will have fun while learning how to fall and get back up, how to march across the ice and ultimately build confidence in themselves and their abilities. The classes, divided into four progressive levels for kids with no prior skating experience, help preschool-age skaters develop the coordination and strength to move across the ice.
Upon completing the Snowplow Sam curriculum, skaters can enter Basic Skills at their corresponding level or move on to pursue a specific discipline.
The Basic Skills curriculum is available to skaters over the age of 6 who are taking their first steps on the ice. Instructors use engaging activities to teach the FUNdamentals of ice skating. The six progressive levels introduce forward and backward skating, stops, edges, crossovers and turns with agility, balance, coordination and speed as main focuses. Through these skills, skaters enter the first stage of skills to begin exploring the world of skating.
Upon completing the Basic Skills curriculum, skaters will be set up to choose whatever path in skating they desire. Whether they’re looking to land an Axel, score a hat trick or speed across the finish line, Basic Skills sets skaters up for success.
Our Learn to Skate for Hockey program focuses on building strong skating fundamentals that directly support game performance.
Players progress through Hockey 1 through Hockey 4, developing hockey-specific skating skills needed for the next step in their hockey journey.
Throughout these levels, skaters work on:
✔ Edge control and balance
✔ Stride mechanics and power
✔ Agility and efficiency
✔ Confidence skating in both directions
Players must complete Basic 1 (or equivalent) to enroll in Hockey 1.
A strong skating foundation is essential before advancing to programs like Little Kings or Future Wings Learn to Play.
Do you dream of jumping high into the air or spinning in a graceful layback? Learn to Skate USA®’s Free Skate curriculum introduces skaters to the beginning elements of figure skating, including progressive skating skills, transitions, spins, jumps and more.
At this point in a skater’s journey, he or she can choose to pursue a recreational or competitive approach to figure skating. At this level, skaters can join an Aspire Program and become an introductory member of U.S. Figure Skating to begin their transition into the sport.
Whether you’re reigniting a childhood passion or just beginning your skating journey, Learn to Skate USA® wants everyone to enjoy the magic of skating. The Adult curriculum is for anyone who wishes to improve their skills.
Skaters who complete the Adult 1-6 curriculum can move through their facility’s pipeline in figure skating, hockey or speed skating.
