Hi! Welcome to The Optimist Club of Carlisle Learn to Skate program registration site.
An important feature of our skating program is that the family members are welcome to lace up your skates and enjoy family skating in a designated area . Lessons are 20 minutes long and you and your children may skate in the family area before and after the lessons. If you don't skate- no problem, our student volunteers will assist your children to the training area and back to rink door. Everyone on the ice is required to wear a CSA approved hockey /ski helmet and all youths require a face cage.
This season our Club is making skating more affordable. We are holding our registration cost for one child at the same rate as last season and offering a 25% discount for the second child and 50% off the cost for 3 or more children in your family.
The programs below give an overview of the skills we’ll be teaching. If your child has already mastered these skills, they can move up to the next program level. Our instructors will keep an eye on each skater’s progress and make adjustments to their program level to ensure they’re always learning and having fun.
To start the registration process you need to login or create an account. Once you are logged in you will see the class options. This season, parents can choose classes and times that suit your family.
Please note that if our system detects more than 59 minutes of inactivity in your browser, your registration spots will no longer be reserved and you will need to begin again.
We look forward to another great season of ice skating at our community rink. Any questions carlisleoptimistskating@gmail.com. best regards, the Carlisle Optimist Skating committee
