LEARN TO SKATE

^{Kalamazoo’s original and best Learn to Skate program is back with two sessions before the end of the year.  KOHA’s Learn to Skate program was designed and implemented by a Western Michigan University graduate student with a hockey and education background.  Thousands of young people have learned to skate with KOHA.  KOHA Learn to Skate is open to girls and boys, whether they have an interest in playing hockey or not.}

^{WE ARE FINISHING THIS YEAR'S SECOND SESSION.  HERE IS WHAT TO EXPECT FOR NEXT YEAR.}

^{Cost:  $80.00 for 8 hours of instruction.}

^{Equipment:  KOHA has 50 sets of basic protective equipment available to loan, first come - first served.  Skaters must have a certified hockey helmet, skates & winter gloves or mittens.  Knee and elbow protection is strongly suggested.} 

^{What your child will learn:  KOHA begins with teaching skaters how to stand up and fall down.  Skaters are divided into groups of about 10, with an adult volunteer assisting KOHA’s experienced paid instructors.  Over the 8-1 hour sessions of the program, skaters will learn forward gliding and skating, backwards skating, hockey stops, left to right and right to left turns and front to back and back to front turns.    Proper  (efficient) skating technique is emphasized.}
