The   Skating   Club   of   Wilmington

has been teaching the community to skate since 1965. Our programs encourage a true love of the sport, from Beginner to Advanced; Recreational to Competitive. We offer skating lessons from Preschool to Adult by accomplished professional coaches with excellent Learn-to-Skate Lessons, private Figure Skating Lessons, Synchronized Skating Teams for adults and children, and instructional Ice Hockey programs  to help you join a team. All these programs are offered to the public and club membership is not required although we recommend it if you want less crowded ice times, more skating sessions and discounted session rates.

Did you know?
Many events and services at SCW do NOT require SCW membership, such as ballet classes, off-ice conditioning, birthday parties, USFSA tests, competitions, public skating, group lessons, ice skating exhibitions, use of the snack bar, skate sharpening and mounting, skate shop purchases, ice shows, and even Programmed Dance sessions!

Please drive slowly as you approach or leave the Club's parking lot. Many children use our facility! One-fifth of all children 14 years of age and younger who die in motor vehicle crashes are pedestrians. Don't forget that the speed limit on Carruthers Lane, West Park and East Park Drives is 25 MPH!

For your own safety, please make sure that you leave nothing in plain sight inside your car, particularly in the evening hours. All valuables should be carried with you or locked in your trunk.
