Tam-O's Learn to Skate programs are committed to providing skaters, ages 3 through adult with the basic ice skating skills that are necessary to skate safely and competently. Our programs follow the Learn to Skate USA curriculum. Registration fee does NOT include Learn to Skate USA membership.

Basic Skills is a six level progressive curriculum to help skaters form a strong foundation. This program provides skaters with the essential foundation to pursue various skating disciplines, including figure skating, ice hockey, and speed skating.

This initial stage of skill development establishes a strong foundation for skaters to explore the world of skating. Instructors use engaging activities to teach the FUNdamentals of ice skating, allowing every skater to advance at their own pace, working towards mastering each skill.

After successfully completing the Basic Skills curriculum, skaters will be equipped to choose their desired path in skating. Whether they aspire to nail an Axel, score a hat trick, or blaze across the finish line, the Basic Skills program empowers skaters to achieve their goals.
