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.

Don't miss the June/July issue of the USFSA's
publication, Skating Magazine. We're proud of Ashley Wagner
who has skated in our last two ice shows and is
as devoted a skater as you're ever likely to
meet on our ice surface. She trains hard and is
an inspiration to all of our competitive
skaters. Figure skating is a sport that not only
requires skill, strength and stamina, but also
grace, style and musicality. She's got the
whole package as this Skating Magazine
issue explains with lots of photographs.
Congratulations, Ashley, for making the cover of
Skating Magazine! |

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.
