What the program is and is not
Instruction, not intimidation.
- Structured instruction for adult beginners—not an open skate or drop-in game.
- Progressive and supportive—not a tryout or competition for roster spots.
- Designed to build safe habits and confidence—not force everyone to progress at the same speed.
- Co-ed and inclusive, with respectful conduct expected from every participant.
- Non-contact instruction, with controlled game play matched to the group.
