September Means Learn to Skate – And Balance Blades Were Made for This Moment

September is here, and with it comes one of the most exciting times of the year — the start of learn-to-skate programs. Across arenas and community rinks, kids are lacing up for the first time, parents are adjusting helmets, and grandparents are coming to watch those very first strides.

But here’s the challenge: learning to skate on traditional blades is tough. Falls are common, frustration sets in, and sometimes kids (and parents) wonder if they’ll ever enjoy skating.

That’s exactly why Balance Blades were created.

As a parent and coach, I saw how hard those first months on the ice could be. Kids needed a skate that was built for beginners, not just a smaller version of a pro skate. Balance Blades are designed to:

• ✅ Prevent rear falls with a unique patented blade shape.

• ✅ Help with standing up and pushing off, giving kids the confidence to get moving.

• ✅ Save parents’ backs, because kids spend more time upright and less time needing to be lifted.

• ✅ Build real skating skills that translate to hockey, figure skating, or just enjoying the rink.

For thousands of families, Balance Blades have become part of that September tradition — making sure kids start their skating journey with smiles instead of struggles.

So if your child is starting learn-to-skate this month, know this: Balance Blades were made for this very moment. They’re not just skates — they’re the first step toward a lifetime of confidence on the ice.
