Approach

This program is perfect for the child that participated in Minor Mite, Learn to Skate, is moving up from the Learn to Skate program offered by the Park District or is planning on participating in the House program next season. The program will meet on Tuesdays at 5:50PM and Fridays 5:25PM. at Winnetka Ice Arena. Each session will consist of 30 minutes devoted to skill development in small stations to maximize reps. A strong emphasis will be placed on skating, as that is the most important area of focus for this age group. The last 30 minutes will be cross-ice games designed to allow all participants to maximize “touches” and puck skills. The program includes 14-one-hour ice sessions.
