Robert Crown Rink 1 · Evanston, IL
The Learn to Skate Basic Skills program teaches the fundamentals and foundational knowledge of skating. The six progressive levels introduce essential moves, including forward and backward skating, stops, edges, crossovers, turns, and mohawks. Skaters progress at their own pace. Basic 1 is designed for children with no prior skating experience. Helmets (without pointed backs) are highly recommended but not mandatory. Skate rental is available and included in the cost of your class from child’s size 8 to adult’s 15. We strongly encourage all new skaters to begin in figure skates and then progress to hockey skates when they feel more comfortable on the ice. Ages 5-14 yrs
