After School Learn to Skate
Our beginner skating program, Learn to Skate - Basic Skills, provides a foundation for fundamental ice skating, giving the students the opportunity to pursue figure skating or hockey. The goal for WFSC is to provide the participants with a positive and fun experience. Skaters will progress at their own rate and advance after skill mastery is demonstrated.
This program is ... After School!
We know it's much anticipated and will fill up quickly. Make sure you buy your club membership first, and then register for the program. Skaters must be between the ages of 5-18 years old.
Who is it for?
Our Basic Skills curriculum is beneficial for all ice skaters, regardless what discipline the skater eventually specializes in.
We offer testing for Hockey badges through Learn to Skate USA, just like we offer testing for their Figure Skating badges. Our classes will be combined until we grow too big to do so, but each skater will test according to their preferred discipline.
Eligibility
Beginners of any age 5 or older who are independent & motivated are welcome! Groups will be divided by skill level.
Season
Classes are once a week from Jan 5 - April 10, 2026
Where
All lessons will take place at the fairgrounds, in the Agri Sports Building.
Figure & Hockey
Our after-school Monday classes will have a focus on Figure Skating. Our after-school Wednesday class will be more Hockey focused. Both programs have similar skills at the beginner levels. Your skaters testing will be based on what badge they are working on.
Expectations
It usually takes about 2 or 3 weeks for beginning skaters to become comfortable on the ice. It's okay to feel frustrated. But don't give up, it's worth the effort!
Extra Costs
- It's important to keep your skate blades sharpened, the closest facility for figure skates is in Minot and costs approx $20/sharpening. (subject to change without notice) Hockey skates can be sharpened at the Agri
- We have Merch!
Equipment
Skaters will need to come with their own skates, skate guards and helmet.
Warm comfortable clothes are recommended. Waterproof gloves, beanies or ear warmers, crash pads for hips and knees, snowpants, and layers are also advised.
If you have any questions about equipment, please contact us.
