Tots-Snow Plow Sams I
For beginning skaters in kindergarten and younger (must be at least 3 years old) with no previous skating experience. Class emphasis is on learning to stand, fall, and move on the ice through songs and games. Protective headgear is required. Younger Snow Plow Sams (3 and 4 years) have the option to have their parents attend class with them. Parents must have skates on. We encourage all older Snow Plow Sams (5 years) to attend class on their own.

Tots-Snow Plow Sams II
For skaters previously enrolled in the skating program but who have not completed all of Tot II skills. Class emphasis is on continuing forward skating and gliding, swizzles and backward skating. Protective headgear is required.

Beta
For skaters who have successfully completed Alpha. Emphasis is on back crossovers and t-stops.

Adult Beginner
This class is for adults who have very little experience or have never skated and would like to try.

Adult Intermediate
This class is for adults who can skate forward and backward well and wish to learn more complicated turns, and stroking crossovers.

Junior Club

Junior Club introduces Group Lesson skaters at the Gamma, Delta, and Freestyle levels to using the full ice surface for their skating skills. The class will make a stronger skater through further movement on the ice, deeper edges, better control and stronger freestyle techniques. Junior Club is strongly encouraged as a precursor to joining the Woodbury Figure Skating Club.
