We are working with Alien In-line Skating to offer 3 classes for ages 5+ to learn the basics of ice skating. Alien In-line Skating is a well-known Calgary organization which teaches in-line as well as ice skating. www.alieninline.com
Instructors from Alien In-Line Skating will teach 3 levels of one-hour classes on Saturday, January 11 at 10:00am. No need to determine what level of class you need. Instructors will assess students at the start of the class and separate the group into the 3 levels. Students must be no younger than 5 years old. Adult students are welcome. Students must wear a helmet and bring their own skates.
The North Hall, which is the small building beside the skating rink, will be open for changing into skates, getting warm and using the washroom. We’ll have the coffee pot on and have hot chocolate for the kids after the lessons.
Class level descriptions are:
- Beginner – students will gain confidence on their skates; learn to fall and get up safely; work on balance, walking and stopping on their skates
- Intermediate – students will learn basic knowledge of gliding and stopping; will gain the confidence to fall and stand up completely without support
- Advanced – students will gain confidence with pushing, gliding and stopping; develop their crossovers and edges
Class level size will be capped at 10 students for each instructor (30 for the full program).
The fee is $10 with a 15% discount for members. Advance registration is required.
