Our classes are designed for skaters age 3+. We use the Learn to Skate USA program that serves recreational and competitive skaters in both figure skating and hockey.
-Classes are 30 minutes in length and taught in a group format led by a certified professional instructor.
-Classes stay active through the use of teaching aids and a wide variety of activities that create a fun environment to promote learning.
See below for information about session dates, class days and times.
Skaters who have been in the program at City National Arena or Hylo Park Arena and/or have taken a session or two off from classes are still considered "returning skaters".

**On average, it takes most skaters 14 to 16 weeks to fully master the necessary skills before progressing to the next level.**
Skaters looking for extra ice time with one on one instruction to develop specific skills can register for a private lesson with any of the America First Center / Vegas Golden Knights Center of Excellence coaching staff.
