Registration Information

Children must be registered in lessons designated for their age group and need to complete each level, or show equivalent competency, before advancing to the next level. If you are not registered in the correct level, the instructors reserve the right to place you in the appropriate level, space permitting. If the lesson level is full, please put your name on the wait list. Please note: skate rental charges are not included in skating lesson fees.
