Welcome to Learn to Skate USA, a U.S. Figure Skating Program! Cool Sports is proud to host this program for skaters of all ages and skating levels, knowing that skating skills are the essential common key for participants of all ice sports.
Group classes are divided by age & skating ability, and are offered for ages 3–5 (Snowplow Sam), ages 6–12 (Basics), and ages 13 & older (Teen / Adult). All classes include 30 minute lesson and skate rental. During the final week of the session (not during summer mini sessions) skaters are able bring one buddy so they can skate too!
IMPORTANT INFO: Prior to signing up for a Learn to Skate group class at Cool Sports, skaters must first register with US Figure Skating in the Learn to Skate USA program.

ISI to Learn to Skate USA Comparison
Coming to us from an ISI program?
Keep in mind, the two programs do not match exactly, so the following would be an approximate level to start.
If you have questions, ask a coach. If you have passed ISI Freestyle 1, look into the Rising Stars program.
Additional lesson options
Booster Lessons
Booster lessons are mini private lessons designed to give a “boost” with one-on-one instruction. These lessons are scheduled during public or freestyle sessions and lessons can be used to prepare for evaluations or to work on a maneuver that skaters may be struggling with. The lessons can also be used to learn new maneuvers or to get an idea of what private lessons are all about. You can speak to a coach of your choice directly to set up a lesson or contact our director to be paired with a coach.
15 minute private lessons will range $10 – $20
30 minute private lessons will range $20 – $40
Private instruction AKA “Booster Lessons” may be added to your Learn to Skate lessons along with additional group class days at any time.
