Learn to Skate

Hello All,

I am happy to say we will be able to reopen 6/29/20 at 50% capacity. Please note we will only be offering limited hours of operation, programming and rentals to begin with.

Our Learn to Skate classes will not be operating over the summer and plan to resume this fall. Those of you that were registered for our March/April Learn to Skate series only received one week of classes out of the 8 weeks that were planned, due to the mandated closing of the facility because of Covid-19. We are planning to offer credits towards the next series of LTS classes. As a way of saying thank you for your patience during this health crisis, we would like to open you a full 8 week credit towards are next session.  Please respond to the email you were each sent with the:

• Skater’s Name

• Parent’s Name

• Phone number

• Day of LTS student was registered (M, W, S)

Please keep in mind at this time we will need your patience in receiving a response, as our number of e-mails will be high due to the number of students that were enrolled in this LTS series. On another note, we will not be operating our normal summer figure skating camps. We will however be offering different options for advanced skaters towards the middle/end of the summer. Please keep an eye out on our website for updates.

We are looking forward to seeing all our wonderful skaters and resuming our classes in the fall!!

IMPORTANT CLASS INFORMATION

It is recommended that skaters stay enrolled in the group lessons through Freeskate level 6. Supplementing the group lessons with a private lesson will boost their skating level. After completing Freeskate 6, parents and skaters will want to discuss skating goals with their coach. The Worthington Valley Figure Skating Club will offer full membership to U.S Figure Skating along with advanced skating options.
