Skaters must 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.
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.
