Snowplow Sam 1-4 invites children ages 5 and 6 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 the 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 can continue on with Free Skate classes or they 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.
