The Ice House Learn To Skate ("LTS") program is ranked among the 10 best programs in the entire country by the Learn to Skate USA. The LTS program consists of a comprehensive lesson and testing structure that is very exciting, rewarding, safe and fun.
Program Details
Whether your goal is to achieve Olympic fame or simply enjoy the recreational benefits of skating, the Ice House LTS program is the ideal thing for you.
​
We have proficiency levels ranging from Basic 1 to Pre-Freeskate. For our 4 and 5 year olds we offer a 4 level Tot program (called Snowplow Sam) to prepare them for our regular classes. We also offer Parent/Tot classes! The skater will learn various techniques such as stopping and turning, just to name a few.
​
Every week one of our designated testers will evaluate to see if the skater is ready to advance to the next level. Once the skater has successfully passed a test, we will immediately move him/her to the next level and give them a certificate of achievement. No skater is held back in a class that is too easy for them.
Parent/Tot
Parents and children (2-3 yrs old) will be taught the very basics of skating using fun and interesting games and instructional techniques.
Children
6-14 years: Basic 1 to Pre-Freestyle are carefully planned levels that allow the beginning skater to feel comfortable on the ice while gaining the basic skating knowledge needed to advance into any of the next level of the program.
Tot
4-5 years: Snowplow Sam 1 through 4 introduces preliminary moves to preschool age skaters not yet ready for Basic 1. (Skaters who graduate Snowplow Sam 3 move directly to Basic 2).
Adult
Six levels of proficiency geared to the beginner adult ice skater.
SPRING LTS PROGRAMS
Spring Skating Academy
9 week semester || April 23 - June 29​
​​
Under the direction of 4X Olympic Coach Craig Maurizi, the Ice House Skating Academy is specifically designed to teach fundamental skating skills and effective off ice training.
This group training environment not only alleviates high training costs but is proven to motivate young athletes while offering an added benefit of socialization in what would normally be an individualized activity. Skaters must be at least Basic 3 and Skaters must have their own skates.
Class includes a 30 min off ice warm up and 1 hour on ice instruction.
