What if I don’t have my own skates?

Free skate rental is included with your Learn to Skate class registration. Skates are available at the Skate Rental Counter. Sizes available: Youth 5 – 13, Junior 1 – Adult 14. **Use of double runner blades is not permitted in a Learn to Skate class.

What size skate do I ask for at the Skate Rental Counter?

Let the Ice Arena staff know your shoe size, and they will find you the correct skate size. Rental skates are designed to fit everyone. Shoe size does not necessarily match skate size.

The Frozen Flashes Learn to Skate Program is specially designed for KSU student skaters, offering a structured progression through five skill levels. Modeled after the Learn to Skate USA curriculum, each level introduces 10–11 foundational skills that build upon one another.

Achieving proficiency at each level is essential for ensuring skater safety, success, and confidence on the ice. This program provides a supportive environment where skaters can refine their abilities while developing strong fundamentals for long-term improvement.

• The format of a 60-minute Learn to Skate class* is as follows: 30 minutes of lesson time and 30 minutes of supervised practice. Practice time is vital to the progress of a skater. More time on the ice means more opportunities to refine skating skills, develop muscle memory, and confidence.
