1. What class should I register my child for?

New skaters, starting at age 3, should register for Snowplow Sam 1.  After passing this introductory class, skaters advance through four progressive levels where kids enjoy fun and games while building their confidence in skating. Skaters then transition to Basic Skills levels 1-6 where they start building a strong foundation of fundamentals including agility, balance, coordination and speed.

Instructors evaluate skaters near the end of the session and give you a report card that indicates which level to register for the next session. Mastery skills for each class level can be found at learntoskateusa.com.

Children in 1st Grade and older with or without skate experience should start in Basic 1 and progress through all six levels. 

  

2. What if the class I want to register for indicates a wait list?

Complete the registration and your name will be added to the wait list. This process can be completed for multiple classes. We do our best to accommodate as many skaters as possible.  

3. What is the cancellation/refund policy?

Full refunds are given only when a class is cancelled by Braemar Arena or if requested five business days prior to the start of a class. Refund requests will be assessed a $5 administration fee. Partial credit will be considered if a cancellation is due to injury or serious illnesses.  

4. What should I do if I receive an error message that states "child does not meet age requirements"?

First, check that your child's birthday is correct in your account profile and that he/she is the right age for the class. If you are still unable to register, call 952-833-9506 and register over the phone.
