Levels Course Content 

Tots If skater needs assistance, is unable to get across ice alone or falls often this level is 

recommended. Helmets are also recommended. Skaters should have some skating 

experience, it is recommended that skaters attend some open skating before enrolling in 

a class. Instruction includes getting up from a fall, marching in place, forward skating and 

beginning stops. There will not be one on one instruction. You DO NOT need to get all 

three badges to move out of Tots. If skater gets across the ice alone with ease they can 

proceed to Basic 1 & 2. 

Basic 1 & 2 If the skater can make it across the rink comfortably by themselves, without falling, they 

are ready for Basic 1 & 2. Skaters will learn skating and gliding forward, stopping, two-foot 

hops and bubbles, as well as an introduction to backward skating and gliding. Helmets are 

recommended. 

Basic 3 & 4 Skaters will learn forward skating using blades rather than marching and be introduced to 

edges, crossovers & three turns. 

Basic 5 & 6 Skaters will learn backward edges, backward crossovers, hockey stop and 

one-foot spins, as well as t-stops, spirals, lunges and bunny hops.

and must register at their hockey level. 

Designed for skaters that are currently in hockey and have passed Basic 3, meaning that 

skaters are able to skate backwards and turn from forward to backwards with ease. 

Skaters must have the proper basics since instruction covers balance, edge work and many 

advanced drills. This class is not for Tots or Basic 1 skaters who plan to play hockey in the 

future. The class concentrates just on skating. It is recommended skaters wear helmets 

and gloves. Hockey sticks are not used.

• Mites - Hockey players in second grade and third grade. 

• Squirts - Hockey players in fourth and fifth grade.

spins. Once you begin the Freestyle and Dance badges, instruction will include several 

new jumps, spins as well as dance steps.
