Policies & Procedures
CLASS SIZE:  
Classes will be kept at a 10 skater maximum per Instructor.  Assistants and Junior Instructors will be used when
available.  Sometimes classes need to be combined due to low enrollment.  If this is the case, every effort will be made to
add additional assistance to these classes to ensure that all curriculum is introduced.

MAKE-UP CLASSES:
Make-up classes are  permitted if there is another class available!  There are no make-ups for Stick Handling, Dance,
Basic 4-8 or Freeskate, therefore, pro-rates are available for these classes only.  All other classes are not eligible for
pro-rates,
no exceptions!  CLICK HERE FOR A MAKE-UP FORM!

PRACTICE ICE
:  
Group lessons are not held on a public skate session, therefore practice ice will be provided at the end of the rink for use
during group lesson time only.  
Practice ice is restricted to participants only!!  Please, no parents, friends or siblings will be
allowed to use this unless enrolled in group lessons,
no exceptions!

SKATE RENTAL:
Skate rental is $2 per week and is
not included with the cost of the class.  Skate rental must be paid for in advance along
with the class registration.

DRESS:
Please make sure that your child is dressed warmly, with long pants, a coat and gloves.  Make sure that clothing is not too
restrictive that they are not able to move around with relative ease.

HOCKEY/STICK HANDLING:  
Hockey and Stick Handling classes
do not require full equipment.  The 'Hockey' class will simply focus on skating skills -
hockey skates are recommended but not required.  The 'Stick Handling' class will offer the basics of stick handling and
puck control and does require a helmet, hockey gloves and stick (chin pads are also recommended).

PRIVATE LESSONS:
Sometimes the need for one-on-one training is helpful to assist your skater in mastering a particularly hard skill or
advance at a quicker pace.  Private lessons may be conducted on group lesson practice ice for
participants only and are
based on Instructor availability.  Private lessons will incur an additional cost made payable to the Instructor directly.
JUNIOR BLADES FREESKATE PROGRAM
"The goal of the Junior Blades program is to incorporate fun and learning as well as appreciate the
sport of figure skating!"

The Junior Blades program is a ‘bridge’ program designed for the recreational skater seeking a more
intensive and expansive learning experience.  With the growing popularity and increasing enrollment of
our “learn to” skaters, the Junior Blades program is the essential link in introducing beginning skaters
into the sport of figure skating and our USFSA member club here at The Forum, the Fishers Figure
Skating Club.

In order to ‘bridge’ the gap between our learn to skate program and figure skating, the Junior Blades
program will encompass many areas of figure skating including: power, stroking, artistry, dance, moves
in the field and freestyle.  There will also be off-ice classes designed to introduce skaters to the basic
premise of cross training.  Here, the skaters will learn exercises and techniques that will strengthen
their bodies and enhance their on-ice performance.  Off class curriculum will include jump,
conditioning, stretch and ballet.  

On and off-ice instruction will be included to introduce the skater to all aspects of becoming a well-
rounded skater.

Each Freeskate Class will focus on a different specialty, including:
•        Jumps
•        Spins
•        Moves in the Field
•        Dance
•        Choreography

Each Off-Ice Class will focus on a different specialty, including:
•        Stretch
•        Jump Technique
•        Fitness
•        Dance/Ballet

Junior Blades: Sundays 2:15 – 3:30pm

Class Structure:

2:15 – 2:45pm Off-ice Instruction
2:45 – 3:00pm Warm-up/Stretch/Get Skates On
3:00 – 3:15pm Freeskate Specialty Class
3:15 – 3:30pm Private Lesson

*Skaters who register for the Junior Blades program must also register for the Group Lesson program at
their appropriate level!*
