Basic Skills Program
Great Bay Skating Club
 | |  | |  | |  | |  | |  |
The Basic Skills program is designed to teach skating in a way that is challenging
and fun. There are eight levels of basic skating skills, and each level builds on the
next. Skaters earn badges and certificates as they move from level to level. Our
professional staff evaluates each student and the skater advances to the next level
when they have mastered all of the skills in their current level. No two skaters are
exactly alike, and each student progresses at their own rate.
Skaters are grouped by class level. Please note that the time of your skater's class
may change throughout the year as they change levels. All classes are held on
Saturday mornings.
Once a skater completes the eight levels of basic skating, they can advance to the
Free Skate levels, where the more advanced skills, jumps and spins are taught.
The Basic Skills program provides plenty of room to grow!
Adults have a different learning style. We have quite a few active adult skaters, and
any of them will tell you that it is NEVER too late to learn to skate. While all of our
skaters start in the Level 1 class, adults have their own class in order to meet the
needs of the adult skater. All adults, regardless of skating level, should attend
the adult class at 8:25 am, not the Learn to Skate class at 9:20 am.
Please note: ALL skaters should arrive at least 20 minutes early on their first day,
to allow time to complete registration paperwork, find rental skates that fit (if rentals
are needed), and be laced up and ready to be on the ice on time.
