Welcome to the Brookings Skating Academy,
powered by the Brookings Figure Skating Club,
in partnership with the City of Brookings Park & Rec department!
Beginning in January 2025, we are pleased to offer an all-new, robust lineup of group ice-skating classes for participants of all ages and abilities! Options are available for figure skaters, from beginners to advanced skill levels, as well as for beginning hockey skating skills, adult beginners, adaptive skating needs, and even a class just for teen beginners!
Classes are taught by certified Professional Members of the Ice Sports Industry (ISI) who are Coach Members of the Brookings Figure Skating Club. We utilize ISI's Ice Skating Program curriculum and skill ladder, which has taught millions of people to ice skate for more than 50 years. Classes are held at Larson Ice Center in Brookings, South Dakota.

Current classes are offered in a 4-week format, with *most* classes meeting TWICE A WEEK for 30 minutes per day to accommodate ISI's full 8-week curriculum. This is an excellent opportunity to try out the new Brookings Skating Academy without a long-term commitment! Classes offered later in 2025 may be scheduled over a full 8-week period.
Class options are listed below. Please note any specific information for each class, such as age designations and/or skill prerequisites. Class sizes are limited, and the instructor to student ratios are generally 1:6 or 1:10, depending on the class. When the maximum enrollment limit for each section is reached, a waiting list option is available. Classes/availability are subject to change, based on registration numbers.
**Figure Skates or Hockey Skates are required. Skates may be borrowed from the skate room at Larson Ice Center, and they must be returned to the skate room each day after class.
**Helmets are encouraged for anyone participating in ice skating and are required for some classes. Helmets are not provided or available to borrow at the rink. Bike helmets from home are acceptable.
The South Dakota weather in January can be unpredictable and dangerous at times. Each family must use their best judgment about safely driving out to the rink for class. In the rare event of class cancellation due to inclement weather, there is no make-up class available, and no refunds will be given.
Not sure which level to register your young child for? For kids who are brand-new to skating, use the Tots option if they are age 6 and younger; use the Pre-Alpha option if they are age 7-12; use the Teen Beginners option if they are age 13-17. For a young skater with a bit more experience, choose the Alpha / Beta / Gamma / Delta option that they have achieved. Please note: the Brookings Skating Academy director and coaches will be evaluating skill levels during the first week of the session and may makes changes to ensure that each skater is assigned to the most appropriate group.
By registering yourself or your child for any Brookings Skating Academy classes, you acknowledge and agree that:
I understand and accept the risk of injury resulting from participation. I knowingly and freely assume all such risks and, for myself and
on behalf of my heirs, assigns, personal representatives and next of kin, HEREBY RELEASE, INDEMNIFY, AND HOLD HARMLESS, the Ice Sports Industry, the Brookings Figure Skating Club, the City of Brookings Park & Rec department, and their officers, officials, agents and/or employees, instructors, coaches, other participants, TO ANY AND ALL INJURY, DISABILITY, DEATH, loss or damage to person or property associated with my participation, to the
