Below are some helpful tips for first time group participants

Comfortable clothes with the ability to move about freely. Layers with a jacket should be worn. 

• Sweatpants/warm-up pants are better than bulkier snow pants. 

• Skaters can discard layers as they get warmer.  

• Wear Gloves or mittens!

• Socks - one pair of lightweight socks or thinner tights work best. Bulky, thick socks limit support and create uncomfortable bumps inside your boots.

• Arrive Early -Show up a good 20 minutes before class kicks off. Check in at the registration desk at the entrance to the rink. Once Checked in please pick up skates at the rental counter (if needed). There is no charge for rental skates for participants in the group lesson program.
