SNOWPLOW SAM - TOT AGES 3-5
The Snowplow Sam levels are introductory classes divided into levels allowing children with no prior skating experience to build confidence while learning the basic skills of skating. These classes are designed to help children six and younger develop the ABCs of movement - Agility, Balance, Coordination and speed. The ABCs are essential for developing fundamental movement skills and physical literacy. All classes will be taught in a safe and positive environment, incorporating fun and games, making class time an enjoyable experience for all.
Please watch these skills to help you better prepare for the skills that will take place on the ice.
