Learn to Skate Registration Form

Known for our frigid temperatures, what better way is there to spend your evening other than skating in Toronto at Rosedale Park! Operating since 2010, we offer two skating programs – Learn to Skate (Beginner & Intermediate) and All Level Skate (Open to all ages/skill level).

Learn to Skate (LTS) – Beginner & Intermediate: Fit for beginners and intermediates who are looking to get more comfortable on the ice, our LTS program is guided by technical staff who focus on introducing: Proper Skating Position and Posture, Basic Balance and Strides, Power Strides, Backwards Skating, Shuffling and more! Participants will begin with basic skills and advance as much as possible. Skills taught are designed to challenge skaters who may be interested in hockey, figure skating or in improving as a recreational skater. For both of our LTS programs we offer two time slots on Wednesdays & Thursdays – 4:00pm-4:45pm OR 4:45pm-5:30pm.

All Level Skate: Open level program that is offered to anyone who wants to practice their skills. Guided by technical staff, we focus on improving fundamental skills that allow for more confidence on the ice. With technical training and game play, skaters will leave the ice feeling more refreshed and confident in their abilities. We offer this program on Thursdays from 6:15pm-7:00pm.

Please have a look at the information and if you require additional information please contact Joanna Ingram at jingram@mooredale.on.ca or 416-922-3714 x103.

Beginner VS Intermediate Classification

Beginner Levels (ages 3 and up):  This program is designed for children who skate with assistance or can not getup after falling.  Whether children are skating for the first time, have minimal experience, or just wish to advance their current skating skills, this program is a fun and exciting opportunity.  The participants will begin with basic skills and  advance as much as possible.  Games and toys will be used to motivate skaters.  The classes are instructed by experienced and caring instructors.   For the first few weeks, children may not skate for the whole 45 minutes, time on ice will be determined based on skill development at the discretion of the head instructor.  The minimum class time is 25 minutes.  Children in these classes should be comfortable doing activities without their parent/caregiver.

Intermediate Levels (all ages):  To take part in this program skaters must be able to stop and skate backwards, with little or no difficulty.  Skills taught are designed to challenge skaters who may be interested in hockey, figure skating or in improving as a recreational skater.  Skaters who aspire to more advanced levels will find this program challenging and stimulating.

Program Information

1. If your child is attending the lessons regularly a visible improvement in their skating skills will occur throughout the session.
