Snowplow SAM
Snowplow Sam 1-3 invites children age 6 and younger to learn the joys of ice skating in a safe, introductory setting. Young skaters will have fun while learning how to fall and get back up, how to march across the ice and ultimately build confidence in themselves and their abilities. The classes, divided into three progressive levels for kids with no prior skating experience, help preschool-age skaters develop the coordination and strength to move across the ice with confidence.
Upon completing the Snowplow Sam curriculum, skaters can enter Basic Skills at their corresponding level or move on to pursue a specific discipline
Helmets are strongly recommended for skaters 6 years old and younger. MRC does not provide helmets.
