First Day Tips for Learn to Skate
New to our Learn to Skate Program? Here are some pointers to get you started:
- While we do accept registrations on the first day of class, we ask that participants to register prior to the beginning of the session. You can register in person at any of our recreation facilities, online at MyGreeleyRec.com, or over the phone at 970-350-9402.
- Please arrive at least 15 minutes prior to your class time.
- On the first day of class, please check in at the front desk so we can ensure that you are enrolled in the correct class, have a current USFSA membership and have everything you need to get out on the ice on time.
- Skate rental is included in your registration fee and the front desk staff will assist you with getting the right pair of skates. You are welcome to use your own skates as well.
- We recommend the use of helmets during class and have them at the front desk for you to borrow. You can bring your own helmet from home if you would like (any type of helmet – bike, ski, etc. – is acceptable).
- Dress warm! No matter what the temperature is outside, the rink stays fairly chilly. We recommend layers and either gloves or mittens, and offer gloves for sale at the front desk for just $4.
- Parents are welcome to watch lessons from the stands, the downstairs lobby or the upstairs lobby.
- Our sessions are 7 weeks long with evaluations the 5th week and testing on the 7th. It is typical for participants to go through a level a few times before passing – this helps us ensure that everyone has a strong foundation to grow.
- We encourage our participants to practice as much as possible outside of their classes so we provide each registrant in the Learn to Skate program with a punch pass for public skating.
