The Harvey School Rink has been operating a group ice skating lesson program for over twenty five years. The Basic Skills Program for SPS 1 through Freeskate 4 is sanctioned by the United States Figure Skating (USFS). Classes are taught by qualified and nationally certified skating professionals.

Lessons are run for eight weeks except summers. Formal instruction will be 30 minutes. Students will have ample time to practice before or after their lesson. Skaters who have progressed to the next level will receive USFS badges on the eighth week of lessons. Please Note: Some levels are difficult and may take a skater more than 8 weeks to complete.

Students must be pre-registered. Please download the Group Lesson Application and forward to the rink for the next available session.

Skating Information

• All skaters must have their own single blade skates — skate rentals are not available.

• Tots should wear helmets (Bike helmets are fine).

• All skaters should wear mittens or gloves, and dress in layers. For beginners and tots, waterproof pants are advised.

• Please check your skates to make sure they fit properly, and that the blades are sharp. If you are not sure of the fit, any of our staff will help you if you check with us before the class
