What Skaters should Wear:
Skaters should dress in layers.
Hat, Ear Muffs or Head Bands. Helmets are recommended. The BELL Multi-Sport Helmet is ice sport approved.
Leggings or Long Johns for legs
No Scarfs or loose clothing.
Jeans are not recommended
Warm Jacket
Gloves are a better choice than mittens as it allows skaters hands to move more freely
Where to Meet for lessons:
Owatonna Four Seasons Arena during September-March
Arrive 15-20 minutes before your class starts to check in and to put on skates.
First day of Class:
Arrive 20 min. before your first class to check in with Director & Rink Parent, find name tag and meet your coach.
All beginner classes will meet off ice for the first few classes.
Parents will need to attend a short Parent Education and Safety Seminar during the skaters first class. It will be upstairs in the Four Seasons.
Parties: Throughout the session we hold a party, such as the Halloween Party or Holiday Party. Details will be emailed out to you.
Testing:
Your skater will be tested the 2nd to the last day of their session. They must have their USFS test book in order to receive their badge.
Recitals:
Last day of the session skaters participate in a small recital they learn with their class. There are no costumes to purchase, however, some skaters like to wear previous costumes from the Annual Spring Show just for fun. There is no charge for the recitals.
Annual Spring Show:
This takes place every spring at the Owatonna Four Seasons in early March.
