The Lake Bonavista Figure Skating Club is pleased to offer the Learn to Skate program. This is an un-parented program that introduces the younger skater to the principals of basic skating skills. These sessions are shorter in length to accommodate the younger skater.

Generally, the participants in this program are between 4 and 5 years of age; however, we accept younger skaters at the discretion of the coach. Lessons are given in a group format and led by an NCCP certified professional coach. What better way to learn to skate!

Class 1
No previous skating experience. Skater is unable to stand or move on their own.

Class 2
Minimal skating experience. Skater is able to stand by themselves and move across the width of the ice.

Class 3
Some skating experience. Skater is able to skate the length of the ice.


All participants must:
