Learn To Skate (LTS)
Cambridge-Isanti Learn to Skate (LTS) Program
Designed for First-Time Skaters Ages 3-10
Come join the fun and learn a skill that can be enjoyed for a lifetime! Whether your child dreams of playing hockey or just wants to feel confident on the ice, our Learn to Skate program is the perfect starting point.
Sessions will be run by Cambridge Isanti Hockey Association coaching staff in this fun and effective training program. Each session will include skills instruction from the coaches (with assistance by boys and girls high school and youth hockey teams) and open skating time for the kids to warm up and practice the skills they are learning. Some of the skills covered include: balance, proper falling and getting up unassisted, march across the ice, one foot glides, forward and backward swizzles, backward wiggles, forward stroking/stride, forward crossovers left and right, one foot snowplow stop. Skaters will be split into groups based on their skill level and will work on the appropriate skills for their level and continue to progress through the more advanced skills.
