Our Learn to Skate program is designed for Preschool age skaters (ages 3 to 5 years) who are looking to learn how to skate. These sessions are designed to teach the basic skating skills needed to confidently glide on the ice along with the skills necessary to progress into the sport of hockey. Learn to Skate classes teach the fundamentals of ice skating.  No prior ice-skating experience is necessary to join the Learn-To Skate program.

​

Our Learn to Skate program will be instructed by Synergy’s Skating Coach Nina Hrycewich. Nina is a professional Power Skating instructor and comes with years of experience.  Nina has been an instructor with Kamloops Minor Hockey, Kamloops Blazers, City of Kamloops Learn to Skate and Can-Skate programs, Valleyview Secondary School Hockey Canada Skills Academy, and much more.

​

This program will be offered during the week for three sessions. These sessions will be divided into four progressive levels for kids with no prior skating experience. Coach Nina will teach young skaters how to forward glide,  proper skating stance, crossovers, pivots, and the beginning of backwards skating.

We at Synergy believe that our Synthetic Ice Surface is the best surface on which to start as you beginner skater. Our surface takes away the need for any skate aids, or parental assistance. Your child will feel more confident to learn the joys of skating in a warm, less intimidating facility.
