Why June is the Secret Weapon for Beginner Skaters

Summer might mean bike rides, BBQs, and beach days — but it’s also the perfect time to help your child get a head start on skating.

While most kids wait until fall to tie up their skates, early learners who practice in the off-season build skating confidence, coordination, and balance — without the pressure of keeping up in a crowded skating class. By the time learn-to-skate programs resume in September, your child won’t just be ready — they’ll be ahead.

Why Learning to Skate in June Matters:

• Less Rink Traffic – Quieter summer skating rinks mean more space to wobble, glide, and fall safely.
• Stronger Progress – Repetition over the summer builds skating skills and muscle memory faster.
• Confidence Boost – Kids starting in the fall often struggle just to stand. Your child will be gliding circles around them.
• Smooth Transition – Fall programs become easier (and more fun) when your child already knows the basics.

And with Balance Blades — the best beginner ice skate — your child can learn to skate smarter, safer, and faster. Our patented design helps reduce falls and build balance, making skating more fun from day one.

So while others are packing away their skates, this is your chance to give your child a real edge.

Learning doesn’t have an off-season — and confidence doesn’t either.
