Important Information about Just Skate:
PNY strives to provide a program that not only strengthens the participants' on-ice skill set, but also builds confidence, character and a love for the ice. In doing so, please note that class are intentionally built around the age and skill set of the participant.
2/22/2026 - Session 4 Update:
For Session 3, we can accommodate:
New Skaters, ages 5 and older
Returning Skaters, all ages
Because PNY reserves and holds a spot for each registered participant, we do not offer pro-rating, make-ups or refunds on the Just Skate program.
**Registrations will be taken on a first come, first serve basis. Registrations will close when a class is full, or 72 hours prior to classes starting. Whichever happens first.**
For additional questions regarding class registration, please contact Kati Link (kati@pnysportsarena.com) or Jamie Haslett (jhaslett@pnysportsarena.com).
