BBSA is our Learn to Skate program. Following the same criteria set forth through a joint program of United States Figure Skating and USA Hockey.  You beginning skater will learn the basic skills needed to enjoy figure skating and hockey well into the future. 

BBSA runs 3 sessions throughout the year.   Days and Times will vary with the availability of ice and holidays.  Sessions generally are:

• Fall   [September - October]
• Spring   [April - May]
• Summer   [June - July]

Skaters may begin any time during the year. Typical cost is $100-150 per session and there are 1-2 lessons per week.   Each lesson is 30 minutes. 

Skaters should be at least 3 years old before beginning joining our Learn to Skate class. 

Skating Academy members are exempt from club volunteer and fundraising requirements. 

What's next?
 

Skaters who have passed basic 3 and would like to continue Figure Skating with Border Blades can join Border Blades Aspire. The Aspire program works with skaters in small groups and begins to incorporate figure skating elements with continued use and development of basic skills. The Aspire program is a "bridge" between Learn to Skate classes and moving to private lessons and club membership.
