Ice Skating Lessons for Teens with ID/DD
Session 1
Tuesday evenings from June 4 - July 16, with no class on July 2
6:30 - 7:30 pm
Thanks to a generous grant from the Meyer Foundation for Disabilities, DSA is pleased to partner with Blade & Edge to offer a Learn to Skate class for teens with intellectual and developmental disabilities. The lessons will follow the Special Olympics Figure Skating Badge Program with students expected to earn 1 - 2 badges per session. Instructor to student ratio is 1:4. A buddy from the skate club will be assigned to each student. Each session will consist of 6 lessons.
The registration fee for the 6-week session is $15.00, payable at the first class. Scholarship applications are available for any family unable to pay the registration fee.
Skaters will be required to wear a helmet for the duration of each lesson. The helmet will be provided by DSA.
Two additional 6-week sessions will be scheduled this year for students to continue to earn badges or for new students to join.
