Fall 2011 Session begins in September!

Cranston Veteran's Memorial Ice RinkThe U.S. Figure Skating Basic Skills Program has been designed by U.S. Figure Skating to be the best beginning ice skating program in the United States. Fun, challenging and rewarding, this program serves the needs of both the recreational and competitive skater. The curriculum is designed to keep skaters enthusiastic about learning from the time they begin lessons until they reach their goals. There are more than 115,000 skaters registered in more than 875 programs across the country, making it the fastest growing figure skating program in the country. Since its inception, the program has taught more than 1.5 million people how to skate.

Program Objectives:

  • To provide a fun and safe skating experience for the beginner as well as the more advanced skater
  • To teach correct technique of the basic element
  • To develop coordination and balance
  • To promote physical fitness
  • To have fun!
The CVM Learn To Skate program offers classes taught by qualified professionals. Unlike other Learn To Skate programs that use a volunteer staff, our instructors are members of the Professional Skaters Association and the United States Figure Skating Association.

Learn To Skate sessions run 50 minutes in length. The first 25 minutes are used for a group lesson while the final 25 minutes are utilized as practice time.

Children must be four (4) years in age to enroll. Helmets are mandatory for all beginners. Skate Rentals are available at the rink. The cost of a full seven (7) week session is $115.

Sessions begin approximately every seven weeks. Don't miss out on the upcoming session! For more information or to sign up, contact director Jewell Augustine.
