Beginner

Beginners are invited to join the Learn to Skate group lesson program at the Patterson Ice Center. New sessions are starting all the time and are offered on Wednesday evenings year round and on Saturday afternoons from September through May. Every week, skaters receive 40 minutes of ice time, skate rental and instruction from one of GGRFSC’s many talented skaters and coaches.

Bridge/Aspire Program

This is a ‘bridge’ between Learn to Skate and private lessons. Please inquire more with one of the coaches. This runs Thursdays 2:50p-3:50p or 11:20a-12:10a during the school year, and is semi-private lessons with full club member benefits.
