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.
