The Club’s Skating Instruction Approach
Our primary objective is high quality instruction programs for children. Any child who learns to skate properly, whether he or she goes on to figure skating or hockey, will enjoy distinctly better performance and the satisfaction that goes with it. Classes are offered for both children and adults.

All students become members of the USFSA’s Basic Skills Program. The program, which takes students from beginning to advanced levels, is widely considered the most comprehensive ice skating instruction available. The USFSA’s Snowplow Sam curriculum helps the preschool age skater, age 4 and up, develop the coordination and strength necessary to maneuver on the ice. Basic Skills, which is for ages 5 ½ through adult, teaches the fundamentals of the sport as students pass through 8 levels. The levels introduce skills like forward skating, backward skating, crossovers, turns, and use of edges. so skaters will achieve competence that prepares them for more specialized areas like the Free Skate or Dance Curriculum.

Basic Skills is also an excellent base for hockey players. A well known fact of professional and college hockey is that a team’s strongest skaters often learned to skate in classes like these rather than by clutching onto a hockey stick which can act as a crutch. WSC encourages parents to enroll children in the classes and for Beginner and In-house Youth Hockey in the Waltham or Wellesley programs.

Benefits of the WSC classes are fewer children on the ice, practice time, the proven success of the Basic Skills curriculum, and the flexibility for each child to progress at his or her own pace. Participants who are residents must be WSC Members and are entitled to participate in the Club’s other programs, including Family Skating every Sunday afternoon. Family Skating provides more practice time for students.

Rental skates are not provided.  Students need to provide their own skating equipment.  As registered skaters with the Weston Skating Club, The Ice House in Wellesley will give a 10% discount on new blades and boots.  Additionally, equipment purchased at The Ice House is tradeable, so it can be brought back the following year and the money will be appliced toward the next equipment purchase. Other stores who sell skates are Thunder, the Natick Outdoor Store, and Tricon Sports.
