Welcome to FMC Ice Sports’ Step 1: Learn to Skate Program. Whether you wish to pursue hockey or figure skating or just be able to enjoy the occasional arena visit with family and friends, Learn to Skate classes are the first step to success! Each level teaches skills that encourage basic coordination, balance and movement in a fun and entertaining atmosphere.

Tot Learn to Skate (Ages 3-6)
  • Instructors use songs, games, toys and other fun methods to cater to the learning styles and development of young skaters. 3 to 4 year olds are separated from 5 to 6 year olds initially in Pre Tot, but are grouped together as they advanced through the Tot levels. 6 year olds have the option to begin in Youth 1. Classes include 25-30 minutes of group instruction and 10-15 minutes of supervised play time.
