Barrington Ice Arena

Children should be dressed in warm, comfortable clothing. Socks should be lightweight and not heavy and it is recommended that beginning skaters wear helmets or a thick hat. Mittens are also suggested. Knit leggings, sweaters or sweatshirts are a good choice. Blue jeans for boys are also a good choice.

The Tot I class is the beginning level class for tots ages 3 to 5. It is suggested that all skaters begin in the Tot 1 class even if they have skated a little before. Skaters will be placed in the class that benefits them the most. 

The Basic Pre-Alpha class is structured for beginning skaters ages 6 – 11. This class is an entry level class and it is suggested that all beginning skaters start with this class. This includes skaters who have not skated before and those who have had some skating experience but no formal training.

The Barrington Ice Arena prides itself on personalized attention and caring about the individual child. Our Tot classes are approximately 1 – 10, always with the concern of the child’s development in mind. Our basic skills class sizes are approximately 1 – 12, however this may vary. In addition to a highly trained staff of professionals, we have a staff of class assistants who are trained to make your child’s skating experience fulfilling and fun.
