Learn, Grow, Love Skating.
In Forestwood's Learn to Skate USA certified program, skaters will learn strong foundational skills in a fun, welcoming environment. Students will progress at their own pace, working towards mastering each skill with the support of their coach and peers. After getting their start in Learn to Skate, skaters can earn badges, perform in ice shows, test, and compete!
​
Our class structure (1/2 Class Time, 1/2 Skill Zone) and 7-week session format ensures that your skater is equipped with the ice time they need to master their skills. Our class sizes are limited to small sizes per instructor and assistant(s) to allow for quality, personalized instruction in line with Learn to Skate USA's official policy. Our program is recommended for skaters age 4 through 17.
​
Skaters will receive a progress sheet with their badge and certificates to celebrate their completion of each level passed. Skaters are expected to follow rink guidelines and maintain emotional stability to allow for a safe and fun experience for everyone!
High-Quality Instruction
At Forestwood, we believe skating is about more than learning skills—it’s about building confidence, creating memories, and discovering a lifelong passion for the sport. Our instructors combine years of high-level experience, vast technical knowledge, and a true passion for teaching to guide each skater through every milestone, from their first glide to advanced achievements.
