  • Skate Levels
    Skate Levels Tot 1 Pre School Beginner Who Has Never Skated Proper Way To Fall In a standing position, stretch hands and arms higher than eye- level so you can see them. (Not so high that the pupil would tent to fall backwards.) Tuck chin to keep head forward. Bend knees and continue the falling down action as you would sit on a chair. Continue gently until skater falls on one cheek (bottom, that is), keeping the hands in position and off the ice. Proper Way to Get Up Facing the instructor, get in the position of a puppy dog on hands and knees. Put one foot between hands, and then bring second foot between hands, keeping weight balanced on center of both feet. Rise, slowly, looking at the instructor, until skater is in proper standing position. Remain still for five seconds. Repeat falling and getting up two more times. Marching in Standing Position With arms in front as in holding handlebars of a bicycle, lift alternate feet three times, remain still in proper position for five seconds. Repeat for a total of three times. Marching While Moving March, counting 1, 2, 3; and then glide on two feet (feet parallel and comfortably apart but no farther out than hips). Repeat five times.

  • Basic Skills Practice Lists (Entry Level – Prefreeskate) Created by Emily Rausa, Figure Skating Instructor
    Basic Skills Practice Lists (Entry level – PreFreeskate) Created by Emily Rausa, figure skating instructor Snowplow Sam 1 Warm up: Walk around off-ice in skates and make sure they are tied well and comfortable. Fall down and get up off-ice. 1. Make sure skater can fall down and get up independently on the ice. 2. Get on the ice and march in place. Do this for at least 10 steps. Skaters should focus on holding the body still and upright, hands out in front of them on an imaginary table for all the skills. 3. March/walk around the rink using both feet, working on making both feet push equally. – Try to walk as much as possible. Try to go around the entire rink many times. 4. Stop moving feet after marching in order to produce a glide. The goal is to glide for at least 4 seconds or longer. Try this at least 10 times. Feet should be placed underneath the body, weight evenly distributed so the glide goes straight forward. Skaters must focus on keeping the body still for gliding. 5. Do a few dips standing still, getting used to the sitting position. Hips/bottom go back, chest and head stay up. Do this at least 5 times. Skater can do more or less of each element depending on mastery of the element. Struggling elements should be practiced more. If the skater has more energy, more practice can be done. Playing with friends on the ice for beginners is beneficial because it lets skaters get comfortable on the ice and have fun, and not feel nervous or scared.
