Little Polar Bears
The Little Polar Bears includes a fantastic "Learn to Skate" program.
The overall program is geared towards children who are between 4-7, but we're happy to discuss individual circumstances. It’s important that your child knows how to stand independently on the ice.
The goals of this program are to develop the FUNdamentals of skating:
- Marching up and down the ice
- Forward and backward skating
- Stopping with full control
- Edge work (inside and outside)
- Forwards and backwards crossovers
- Turns with agility, balance, coordination, and speed
