Please wear warm clothes (pants, jacket, mittens, hat/beanie, long socks) as it is very cold inside the rink.
All new students are automatically placed in the Basic 1 class. If the student skates at a higher level, please inform the Box Office when registering so that we may place the skater in the proper level.
On the first day of class please check in at the Box Office to pick up your badge and pay the $25 drop in class fee and/OR sign up for an 8 week class package ($160) plus mandatory $20 USFS Learn to Skate membership fee.
Skaters should arrive at the rink at least 30 minutes in advance to check in, get their badge, and tie their skates.
