About
Once skaters are consistently demonstrating basic technique to skate unaided across the width of the rink, they will progress to this level with the goal of learning proper use of the blade and knee bend to gain motion across the ice in both directions, forwards and backwards! Once completing this level, young skaters can progress to Aussie Skate™ Test 2 level.
We provide plenty of coaches to support all skaters and would prefer parents/guardians to support from the sidelines.
What to bring
Our rinks maintain an air temperature around 10C or less, so warm layers are a must! An insulated rain jacket will keep you warm and dry, and be sure to bring long socks. We strongly recommend that young skaters wear a well-fitted bike, ice hockey or ski helmet.
