- What to Expect on Your First day of Class
- Recommended & Suggested Attire for Skaters
- Refund Policy & Registration for Parents
- Arrive 30 minutes early on your very first day to settle into your space and navigate our registration table, skate rental counter, etc.
- Check-in and pick up skates at the skate counter, just right off the main entrance.
- Head to the rink & wait rink-side until your coach greets your skater at the door. High-fives are always encouraged!
- All skaters will learn to fall, but more importantly, they learn to get back up.
Safety is a top priority for us. Here are some equipment/clothing requirements and suggestions for participation in the group classes at the Twin Rinks Skating School.
- Helmets are required for all skaters enrolled in Homeschool Skate School. Hockey, skating, ski, and bicycle helmets that are properly fitted are acceptable for all classes. Hockey helmets with face cages offer maximum protection, followed by skating, ski, and bicycle helmets.
- Gloves or mittens are required for all skaters. They provide both warmth and safety.
- Warm, comfortable clothes that allow for easy movement are best for skating classes. Layering will help skaters stay warm and adjust to changing temperatures.
- Snow pants, long pants, athletic pants, leggings, or tights (with a skating dress, skirt, or leotard). For safety and ease of movement, pants should not fall below the heel of the skate or drag on the ground. Young children often prefer snow pants, which make them feel padded and dry. Shorts are not permitted unless worn over tights or leggings.
- Thin-to medium-weight high socks or tights. Skates should fit snugly, so thick socks are not recommended. Socks should come up higher than the top of the skate boot, to prevent the skate from rubbing against the leg. Tights are a great choice for girls, either under pants or with a skating dress, skirt, or leotard.
- Jacket, fleece, sweater, sweatshirt, and/or long sleeve shirt. Skaters can always remove layers during class time.

- All skaters must be pre-registered prior to the cycle. No walk-ins or same-day registrations.
- We understand that conflicts may arise during each cycle. Make-up classes CANNOT be arranged.
- All classes, camps, skating programs & Learn to Skate program fees are NON-REFUNDABLE. Refunds will only be considered for a medical reason accompanied by a Doctor’s note. There will be a $35.00 administration fee applied to all refunds.
- Twin Rinks reserves the right to combine classes, reschedule, change, or cancel classes due to unforeseen circumstances.
