An array of “Learn to” programs exist on "The Fastest Ice on Earth" at the Utah Olympic Oval where Olympians broke world records and earned gold medals.  Learn to Skate at the Utah Olympic Oval is proud to offer the U.S. Figure Skating Basic Skills Program.  U.S. Figure Skating is the official national governing body of skating on ice as recognized by the United States Olympic Committee (USOC) and the International Skating Union (I.S.U.) and the Basic Skills Program is approved by the Professional Skaters Association (PSA), the recognized authority in coaching education and accreditation.  Classes are taught by trained U.S Figure Skating Registered Coaches and Basic Skills Instructors.

Basic Skills class curriculum is goal oriented and progressive.  If this is your first Learn to Skate class you must enroll in Basic Skills Snowplow Sam 1 (ages 3-5), Basic 1 (ages 6-15), or Adult 1 (ages 16 & up).  No previous experience is necessary and you may enroll any time space is available and a minimum of 4 classes remain in the session. 

You should arrive at least 30 minutes early for your first class in order to check-in and find the right sized skates before class starts.  Skates should be a snug fit and there should not be any loose or dangling laces.  Dress for warmth (layers are best) and wear non-restrictive clothing.  Don’t forget knee-high socks and gloves.

• Classes are held year-round once a week for six weeks on Tuesdays or Thursdays.  From October through April we also offer classes on Saturdays.
• Not all ages and levels are taught at all class times. Look for class time options for each level on the Class Schedule printed inside the Ice Skating Lessons brochure.
• If you are interested in Learn to Play Hockey or Learn to Speed Skate, you can sign up for them after passing the Basic 2 or Adult 2 level for Hockey, and the Basic 1 or Adult 1 level for Speed Skating.
• Cost is only $55 ($10 discount will be applied for early registration, before the first day of class). 
• An additional U.S. Figure Skating Basic Skills annual registration fee of $10.00 is required for each student and can be paid through guest services or on-line.  Registration period is July 1-June 30.  The many benefits that the skater receives are listed in the Ice Skating Lessons brochure in the pricing section. 
• Rental skates and helmets (required for ages 8 and under) are included in cost.
