Therapeutic Badge Program 1-14

Age 6+ | Classes meet for 30 min

The Therapeutic Badge Program is designed to help physically challenged skaters develop skills and enhance their skating experience. The program encourages skaters to continue in the sport of skating for physical recreation and activity while taking limitations into consideration. Assisted is with the help of a person. If skaters use an assistive device without a person, they are unassisted.
