Where Should I Begin? At Hagerstown Ice & Sports Complex we have group lessons for all ages and abilities. Participants who have never taken skating lessons should register for Basic 1, depending on their age. For skaters with some experience, the Skating Director or one of our coaches is available to assist in selecting the appropriate class. |
|
Wear warm and comfortable clothing that allows easy freedom of movement, including gloves. We recommend all-sport helmets for everyone, especially beginning level skaters. |
|
Rental skates are included in the cost of the lesson |

Hagerstown Ice & Sports Complex has a highly qualified Professional Coaching Staff. Each coach is a member of these organizations that are recognized worldwide: Ice Skating Institute (ISI), US Figure Skating, and Professional Skater's Association (PSA). |

Each student will be evaluated on the first & second day of class to ensure that the class level matches the student's ability. Skill achievement tests take place on the last week of class. Upon evaluation the instructor will recommend the appropriate level for the skater's next session of class. Through the Learn to Skate program, each skater has the opportunity to continue to advance as far as he or she desires. A skater can master skills to feel more comfortable skating on a public session, or he or she can work towards competitive recreational skating, and more. |

New skaters may join the program up through the second week of the eight-week session. For more information, please contact the Skate Director or call (301) 766-9122. |
