Home school Skate Academy

The COOLEST Home school hangout in the Triangle!

 

The HSSA (Home school Skate Academy) is every Tuesday before our  home school skate. Yes, we are called the "Homeschool" Skate Academy, and we are primarily homeschoolers, but our skate school is open to everyone.. not just homeschoolers.  You can join us in the summer if you like, or if you have a small child that is not in school yet and you want to take lessons during the day you are more than welcome to join us. We have adult classes also.

 

If you have children in your family who don't want to be apart of the HSSA, they can come and skate on practice ice during lessons and then stay for the session. You will have to pay for any sibling or friend that is not a part of the HSSA who wants to skate the session. [$5 per person]

 

The HSSA sessions run 8 weeks long. At the end of each session,  our students can invite a friend to skate for FREE!  Each student receives their certificate of progress.

 

Each child will receive a USFSA membership card, a skill book and will also receive progress reports and report cards throughout the session. You will also receive a free 10 punch pass card to skate 10 sessions for free in the Cary or Garner rinks. [Card does not include skate rental]

 

We now have a Homeschool Skate Academy in Cary! Call 919-460-2756 for more information.

Frequently Asked Questions

 

Do I have to buy skates?
Nope! We'll provide skates for you. But if you are interested, we have a pro shop and we can help you purchase a pair for your child.


How old does my child have to be to start?
They can start at the age of three, as long as they can stand on the ice and they feel comfortable being away from mom or dad . If they do not, you can  sign up for our "Parent and Tot" class so they can feel comfortable.

 

Can I be refunded if my child does not like the class?
Unfortunately, no.  If you're not sure if your child would like the HSSA, what we recommend
is try our "evaluation" class. You can try the level/class once, and if your child doesn't like it, you do not have to pay. If your child does like it, then you can pay for the whole session.

 

What if my child cannot stand up on the ice?
They would have to know how to stand on the ice before we start any lessons. They also have to feel comfortable being away from mom and dad.  For our Snowplow Sam Class, we teach them how to move on the ice such as forward skating and stopping.  If you are not sure if your child will like the lessons, have them come out on the 2nd Tuesday of the month for our free lessons during our home school skates. Of course, that lesson will not be as detailed, but it will give you an idea if they will like skating, before you spend money that can't be refunded.

 

What if it is in the middle of the session, can I still sign up?

We will pro-rate your cost up to the 3rd lesson into the session.  We can't go any further because it would not be fair to those who learned certain elements to wait for someone to catch up. This only applies if enrollment has not been closed due to large class sizes. 

 

What if I enroll my child and then they are sick.. Are there makeup times?
Unfortunately, we can't make up any classes due to the fact that we only have 1 day a week that the Homeschoolers and coaches meet. However, we will work with you.  If you miss one day, you may be able to attend 2 classes the next week.  It all depends on the class availability. If your child is sick for  long period of time, we will definitely work with you and will evaluate each circumstance accordingly. Also, if your child is enrolled in the next session, we may be able to  pro-rate that cost. We'll evaluate each circumstance accordingly.
