Group Lessons are on Saturday morning for one hour starting at:
8:30AM for Tot - Beta
9:30AM for Gamma and above
The hour is comprised of a 20 minute group lesson and 40 minutes of mentored practice with our team of experienced skaters who are "mentors" for those who want assistance. They will seek out skaters to assist, however many prefer to work on skills independently. Sesson start promply, so make sure you are at the rink in time to get your skater ready!
The schedule of lessons for 2009-2010 is shown below. The different levels and the skills per level are after the schedule.
