Daytime Classes Designed for Pre-schoolers

 

St. Paul FSC’s Pre-School 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 pre-schoolers, so skaters feel comfortable and become independent on the ice. Classes are 30 minutes in length.

• Pick up your skater’s name tag at the Welcome Desk.

• Move to the seating area surrounding the ice to put on skates.

• Skaters will meet in the area corresponding to the color on his/her name tag.

• The first class meeting will include an evaluation to ensure proper level.

• Depending on registration classes maybe divided by age and/or ability within the level.

• Class size will not exceed 12.

• Intro to Skating and Basic 1 will meet off-ice for the first class. Look for signs to direct you to the correct location or check with the Welcome Desk.

 

Equipment

• Skates: well-fitting figure skates or hockey skates. No double runners please.

• Rentals skates are available at Highland Arena only.

• Helmet- very strongly recommended for beginners.

• Warm clothes: layers that are easy-to-move in and gloves. Winter jacket and snow pants work great for beginners.  The arena is cold so dress accordingly, parents too.

• Hockey skaters should be in full equipment.

 

Health Precautions

• If your skater does not feel well and/or has a fever please, do not attend class.

• Everyone in building must wear a mask per Ramsey County mandate. This may be updated, and you will be notified of any changes.
