PROGRAM INFORMATION

SKATES: The Fargo Park District does not have skate rentals. Hockey or figure skates are acceptable. Double-bladed skates are not allowed.

Skates should fit where the big toe brushes the end of the skates.

They should be tied tight as they will loosen as the child skates.

Scheels and Play It Again Sports sell used skates.

DRESS: Children are required to wear mittens or gloves in every class. Hats are suggested for Adult and Tots and Beginners for good protection of the skater’s head. Legs and arms must be covered.

Skaters should wear layers of sweatpants instead of snowpants. As the weather gets colder outside, the temperature of the rink also gets colder, so dress warm.

CLASS BEHAVIOR: Skaters may not eat candy or chew gum during class. Parents are encouraged to watch but not to interact with the skater during classes, with the exception of the Adult and Tot program.

CONFIRMATION NOTE: Registrants will be contacted prior to the start of the program with dates of all classes.

TESTING: The testing dates will be noted in your confirmation. These dates will be the only time for testing. Test results will be handed out the last day of classes for the session.

NOVICE PATCH: Novice Patch is the next progressive step for skaters who have completed Advanced Level 6. Students are taught the fundamentals of freeskate, dance and moves in the field. You may register for up to two classes per session. Classes are held once a week for 45 minutes for six weeks.
