Learn to Skate Program
Pepsi Ice Center’s Learn-to-Skate program is a structured Program designed to increase interest and participation in ice skating. Lessons are designed for all age groups, including adults.

The program provides a nurturing environment where skills are broken down into progressive, achievable levels that encourage skater development.

The Learn-to-Skate program is offered through ISI, the Ice Skating Institute.

 


Classes Include:
  • Tots:  The ISI Tot classes offer specialized instruction for tots, ages 4 and 5, with the emphasis on fun!  A class for students, age 3, (Rockin’ Tots), is often times added to the class schedule.
  • Beginning Skaters:  The ISI Pre-Alpha class, for ages 6-12, introduces skaters to the wonderful world of ice skating. Emphasizing fun and safety, lessons quickly generate confidence as new skaters develop skills and make new friends. Learn to Skate
  • Basic Skills: The ISI Basic Skills classes guide new skaters, ages 6-12, through carefully graduated maneuvers, ensuring rapid progress over short time periods. Alpha, Beta, Gamma and Delta classes provide direction and build competency in all important foundation moves.
  • Adult Classes:  Adults can progress through ISI classes from Pre-Alpha through Delta, ages 13+.
  • Specialty Classes:  Specialized areas of skating are offered for students completing prerequisite basic skills levels, such as Synchronized Skating Team, Freestyle, Power, Pepsi Pops, Cheer ‘N on Ice, Ice Dancing, etc.
