• 50-minute lesson - $75

Suitable for hockey players, figure skaters, and returning LTS skaters ready to advance.

Perfect for young or first-time skaters building comfort and confidence on the ice (follows Learn-to-Skate USA curriculum). Designed to establish strong fundamentals, balance, and safety skills.

Note: For new skaters, private lessons are most effective as a supplement to Learn-to-Skate group classes (offered via Saratoga Springs Rec, AYHA, Hockey Hut, etc.), which offer value as well as peer group motivation. They can; however, be the sole method of learning how to skate.

• Lesson packages
• Advanced performance analysis options for higher-level hockey and figure skaters

Lessons can take place at alvarious rinks across the Capital Region, depending on schedule:

• Saratoga Springs Ice Rinks (Weibel / Vernon)

*NOTE: Private lesson fees do not include the cost of ice time or skate rental, which must be purchased separately through the rink (see individual rink websites/schedules for details).
