Skaters are grouped according to their ISI Freestyle level. Each ISI Freestyle level has required elements that must be mastered and then skated to music. Adult Adult classes are divided according to ability and needs. Adult & Child Pair Ages 3-7 Designed for the adult and the beginner child to learn to skate. This class will focus on the skating basics for the child. Adult must have some skating experience. Hockey Skills Helmet, shin pads and elbow pads are mandatory. Full hockey gear is suggested. Sticks and pucks are not used. The focus is on skating skills, speed and edge control. Skaters must have passed Beginner Level 3 to be eligible for this class.

There are no make-up lessons. Eagan Skate School Registration Information Space will be available on a first come, first served basis until class is full. Classes with 1-2 skaters will receive a 15 minute private/ semi-private lesson with the remainder practice time. For questions regarding what level to sign up for, please contact the Skating School Coordinator at (651) 675-5453. If you are new to the program, place your skater in a lower level than you think, as each skater is evaluated the first day of lessons. Figure Skates Proper equipment is the first step towards a positive skating experience. Skates should be leather and properly fit. Properly lace skates from the toe area to the top of the ankle. Hockey Skates Please no hockey skates for those enrolled in Beginner 5 and under. The motor skills of youngsters age 5 and under are not developed enough to reach “Maximum Rate of Learning” in hockey skates. Notice that a hockey blade is “rocked” (like a rocking chair). If the skater does not have complete balance, (which most 3-5 year olds do not) they will rock forward or backward and fall down frequently. Often times this causes discouragement, and it is more likely that they may quit because of equipment making the learning process more difficult. Skating Attire We strongly suggest snowpants, helmets and gloves/ mittens; especially for skaters ages 6 & under. During the Lesson • Everyone on the ice must be in skates; no shoes or boots are permitted. • Lesson participants should be the only ones on the ice. • Parents/family/friends are not allowed in the hockey box area during classes. • If you have any questions/concerns for your child’s instructor, please call (651) 675-5589 and leave a message with the Civic Arena staff. Recommendations for Beginning Skaters Quality skates are available to rent at the arena for $2/pair. 12 Dec/Jan/Feb Registration Begins November 7 • www.cityofeagan.com/register Civic Arena Hotline (651) 675-5511, Option #5 F o r E v e r y o n e Winter 2 Skating Lessons: January 9 - February 18 Registration December 12 - January 4 Tuesday, January 10 - February 14 Tuesday classes will be held concurrently with a Noon - 1:30 p.m. open skating session.
