CV SK8 ACADEMY
CV SK8 ACADEMY (LEARN TO SKATE)
These are introductory classes divided into levels allowing children with no prior skating experience to build confidence while learning the basic skills of skating. These classes are designed to help children develop the ABCs of movement – Agility, Balance, Coordination and speed. The ABC’s are essential for developing fundamental movement skills and physical literacy. All classes will be taught in a safe and positive environment, incorporating FUN and games, making class time an enjoyable experience for all. Parent supervision required.
- Helmets are not required but are recommended for young skaters. Properly fitted bicycle helmets or stocking caps are most commonly used. We recommend that all skaters wear gloves. We do not have these items available at the skate counter for skaters to use so please bring yours with you to class each week if you plan on using them.
- We strongly recommend that all new skaters wear figure skates for their Sk8 Academy class. Figure skates have longer and flatter blades making it easier to grasp the concept of ice skating. As soon as basic skating skills are developed, the transition to hockey skates (if desired) is much smoother. Skates run the same as your shoe size.
