About

 

 

The Eccles Ice Center's Learn to Skate program is a year-round skating program for all ages and skill levels supported by the Marriner S. Eccles Foundation. Whether you're into figure skating or prefer hockey, our program encourages you to develop a lifelong love for the sport.

 

Under the guidance of our experienced coaches, you'll learn the essential skating techniques, build confidence, and improve your overall fitness. We are dedicated to creating a welcoming atmosphere where everyone can have fun, feel supported, and achieve their goals. Join us, and ignite your passion for skating today!

​

Instructional Information

​

Lessons consist of a half-hour session with a trained coach once a week. These lessons are either on Tuesday or Thursday.  See below for instructional times.

 

The class length is eight weeks (unless otherwise specified in the registration), which helps skaters build solid fundamentals and sustainable skating skills.

 

This is a progressive style of program. We no longer have an end-of-session test. Instead, skaters will pass off skills throughout their eight weeks in classes. That way, students who advance faster can move into the next set of skills and not be held back. 

 

We hope you have a blast learning to skate!
