About Learn to Skate or "LTS":
If you are looking for beginner skating classes (hockey and figure) for your child ages 3 and up these classes are for you!
(NOTE: We are now offering 2 different Youth LTS classes. LTS Hockey which is designed for skaters in Hockey Skates who will eventually move into Jackson youth hockey, or our original youth LTS classes for the skaters who aren't sure their path in skating and are looking for classes that are fun/non -specific (so skaters will be in figure skates and hockey skates). If you want Hockey Specific classes please click HERE)
Learn To Skate USA or "LTS" is a program designed by US figure skating. LTS is for the new skater through the basic levels of skating. We offer interactive fun group classes for new and returning basic level skaters. Classes are divided by age, ability and skate type (if you want to know what level to enroll your skater in please look below in the FAQ). SCJH Learn to Skate classes meet twice a week (or you can do one day) on Tuesdays and Thursdays for a 30min group class and 20min practice/open skate. During the open practice/open skate if your skater wishes to take a private lesson they may do so (please book and pay for your lesson's directly with SCJH staff). If your skater is a Snowplow Sam level or is new/unable to stand and skate by themselves on the ice please only bring them to the group class portion at 4:30-5:00pm till they are able to feel comfortable to do the practice.
ABOUT SCJH:

A Brief COVID Disclaimer:
In this paragraph we will go through the big topics of SCJH's Covid policy/waivers (which you will sign as apart of your registration process). Due to Covid & CDC recommendations we strongly encourage everyone is mask while inside the rink and while unable to social distance (such as in group classes or private lessons). Are hope is to continue to move forward slowly while keeping everyone safe and classes open. Please be respectful and if you/your skater are not masked we ask you to socially distance while on the ice and in the stands. Also note, If CDC/Town/school recommendation changes or our community's COVID positive cases increase we will revert back to our stricter COVID guidelines put into effect by SCJH and CMI, this will include wearing a mask at all times, as well as no spectators and more. Both the current and stricter policies are available HERE please review before registering. If your skater is taking a private lesson please check with their coach on their mask policy/COVID Policies. SCJH will be keep you posted on any change to our COVID policy through email.
What Level To Register Your Skater For:
NEW SKATER: If your skater is ages 3-5 during enrollment you will register them in the Snowplow Sam Class, even if the skater was in Snowplow Sam before (Snowplow Sam testing goes to Snowplow level 4). If Skaters is ages 6 & up at the time of enrollment you will register them for Basic 1. Please enroll your new Learn to Skate skater either in Basic one or Snowplow sam even if they have some skating experience! We are excited they've been on the ice but, they will need to start in the levels mentioned above. If they are ready we will move them up to the next level, we will not hold your skater back! Remember it's much easier to move up in levels rather than down. There is more FAQ at the bottom of this page.
RETURNING SKATER: If your skater has passed a basic level & received a badge you will enroll them in the next level up. If you didn't make testing please reach out to us through email so we can guide you to the correct level.

Frequent Asked Questions & Useful Links: |

*What Level Do I Sign My Skater Up For? If your skater is ages 3-5 during enrollment you will register them in the Snowplow Sam Class, even if the skater was in Snowplow Sam before (Snowplow Sam testing goes to Snowplow level 4). If Skaters is ages 6 & up at the time of enrollment you will register them for Basic 1. If your skater has passed a basic level & Received a badge you will enroll them in the next level up. *My Skater Hasn't Taken Group Classes But Has Skated Before.. We are excited they've been on the ice but, they will need to start in the levels mentioned above. If they are ready we will move them up to the next level, we will not hold your skater back! Remember it's much easier to move up in levels rather than down. *Who Is My Skaters Group Instructor? First know what group your skater is in (what color is on the name tag) then please visit the SCJH Instructors page or click HERE. *What Will My Skater Be Working On? SCJH follows the Learn To Skate USA curriculum. Below are the links. |
*Where do you purchase skating gear:
The will be hosting a skate swap .If you missed the skate swap we will have a small table of used skates available for purchase the first couple LTS group classes. If not you can purchase them online (we recommend something like these.) *Yes To Helmets and Head Protection: All SNOWPLOW SAM SKATERS, ages 3-6, must wear a helmet. Nothing is to be worn underneath the helmet for proper fitting. Any new skaters to Learn to Skate USA are also encouraged to wear a hat or bring and wear a helmet for the first few class until a comfortable balance is established. We recommend CSA helmets! *Yes Bring lots of layers. Comfort and moving freely about are essential for new skaters. Choose sweatpants or warm-up pants instead of bulkier snow pants. Bring a jacket too, since indoor rinks do set thermostats at a brisk 50 degrees Fahrenheit. No heavy ski clothes as they prohibit movement and bending. *What Socks Do I Put My Skater In? Thin over thick. Bulkier, thicker socks limit support and movement and create unwanted bumps inside the boots. Go with lightweight socks or thinner tights. *What Kind Of Gloves? Gloves are preferable to mittens as they provide articulation. Either way, mittens or gloves are suitable. |
