Registration

We have been teaching skating at the Manvers Arena (located on Hwy 7a at Hwy 35) for over 30 years.
We will be having our registration at the arena Monday Sept. 13th & Thursday Sept 16th. We should be there from about 5:30 to 7:30pm both nights. Check this site again before you go up as I will update the times if they change.
We offer skating lessons to ages 3 and up. We have a great Learn to Skate Program. We also have great ice time for Older skaters in Star Skate. We have a really nice jumping harness and an amazing sound system for our music. Our ice is not over crowded so we offer great guest skating!
Our skating nights are Monday start at 5pm and Thursday start at 4pm.

We offer one day and two day rates.
I will post more details on programs and prices later this month.

Watch for flyers!

Time to try on Skates!

TIME TO TRY ON YOUR SKATES

Yes it is time to dig out your skater’s skates and do a little Inspection!

First of all, have your skater try on the skates.

Do this with the same socks they would be skating in and with the skate guards on the skates. Best to be on a floor surface that is not too slippery.

Do not use the blade “booties” when wearing the skates.

Remember, feet that have been wearing nothing all summer may rebel a little at first.

Have your skater put the skate on, do not do the laces yet. Have them put their toes right up to the toe end of the boot. We want to just touch the toe end of the boot, not be too crowded.

Now while they are standing, have them bend their knees so you can check the space behind their heel.

They need to keep their foot flat. If you can fit a pencil down behind the foot then you still have a good fit lengthwise.

If you can fit your hand, than it is possible the skate is too big.

Width is a little trickier to determine after a summer out of skates. Have your skater sit and relax while wearing the skates for 15 min or so . Any complaints?

Next do up the skate. They do not need to be too snug. Any complaints?

Finally, you need to look at the condition of the skate.

1. Are there creases in the ankle area? This is a sign of loss of support. NOT GOOD.

2. How is the blade? A Coach or the person who sharpens your skates can often tell you

if the blade is safe and still useful.

REMEMBER TIME FLYS AT THE END OF SUMMER AND YOUR SKATER WILL

BE ON THE ICE BEFORE YOU KNOW IT!

Might be a good idea to have a look at your skate bag, cloths, socks, and maybe some little gloves.

Yes I know it is still very warm outside lol but out on the ice you will need a different "look".

Time To Skate!!!

Yes it's time to think about skating!! Skating will start at Manvers Skating Club on Sept. 27th 2010. Registration will be held at the arena on Sept 13th & 16th, times to be announced. Bring old skates for sale, bring your skater if you are looking for skates.

We are looking forward to skaters from Pontypool, Bethany, Janetville, Blackstock, Orono, Milbrook, Ops township, Lindsay area and anyone who is close to Hwy 35 and Hwy 7A!
