Power Skating

Power Skating classes hosted at NCWC span from new Mites to Peewees. Weekly classes includes a series of drills relating to skating: maximizing power and control, turning/pivoting, stopping/starting, balance and body awareness. Skaters also become educated about parts of the blade as it relates to acceleration or performing specific turns. All skaters must have helmet, hockey gloves, sticks, shin pads and skates - full equipment is optional.
