School Season Skating

The Steamboat Skating Club organizes team training into various skill level groups. This structure enables coaches to provide targeted instruction in smaller settings, ensuring that skaters receive guidance that is both suitable, safe, and FUN!

All skaters new to Intro to Figure Skating need to have passed the City of Steamboat Springs Learn to Skate Program or an equivalent Learn to Skate Basic 3 Program prior to enrolling.
