Open to preschool skaters aged 3-5 years with little to NO skating experience. Skaters are on the ice for 30 minutes at a time. Children are introduced to basic skating through action songs, games and play. Skaters younger than age 3 may register for this program upon approval of the head coach. Children need to be able to stand on their own in their skates (not on the ice). Please email edmonton.synchroskating@gmail.com for approval.
