St. Paul FSC’s Preschool Skate class is designed to help the preschool-age skater develop preliminary coordination and strength to maneuver on the ice. This class will teach fundamental skating skills to preschoolers, so skaters feel comfortable and become independent on the ice. Classes are 30 minutes in length.
