New for the 2023/24 Season – Balance Buddies!

An introduction to ice skating for tots ages 2 to 4 with an adult companion. (Adult companions must feel comfortable and confident enough on skates to be able to assist their tots.)

The Balance Buddies package includes one pair of Balance Blades skates and three 20-minute skating lessons.

The first lesson will take place off of the ice and is designed to help tots become more familiar with both the facility and the concept of ice skating. Tots and their companions will learn the basics of falling down and getting back up safely, the “safety position” for standing and gliding, and marching forward – all on dry land with shoes on.

In the second lesson, we’ll review the dry land exercises and introduce the skates, demonstrating proper lacing and fastening techniques and checking helmet fit. We’ll then go through the dry land exercises, only this time with skates on.

In the third lesson, we’ll review dry land exercises with skates on, then venture out onto the ice for some fun and games. 

All participants must wear long pants, socks that cover the ankles, weather appropriate outerwear, gloves and a helmet.
