Skating4You.
Six-week ice skating lessons for adults and kids at Nepean Sportsplex in Ottawa, capped at eight skaters per class
The brief.
Skating4You is a small Ottawa learn-to-skate operation run by two coaches, Austin and Brad, with over 20 years of combined coaching experience between them. Classes run on Saturday mornings at Nepean Sportsplex — across Yzerman Arena and Arena 2 — in six-week sessions of 50-minute lessons, with three skill streams: Beginner (first time on ice), Intermediate (some skating skills), and Advanced. There are two parallel programs, one for adults aged 13 and up and one for children aged 6–12, both priced at $168 for the full six weeks. Class size is capped at eight participants, and no prior skating experience is required — skaters bring their own skates and a CSA-approved helmet.
