Junior Club
Once skaters have passed at minimum Basic Skills 1, there are additional opportunities to receive skating instruction and determine if the skater would like to continue pursuing the sport.
Junior Club is an additional step for your child to learn and develop their skating skills. Rather than large group classes, Junior Club members are able to learn from a great staff of coaches and have private lessons to work on skills. As a Junior Club member, skaters are able to use the full sheet of ice when practicing and receiving lessons.
