The Snowplow Sam/Basic Skills/Freestyle program is designed to introduce individual skaters to a variety of skills. Using the U.S. Figure Skating Basic Skills Learn-to-Skate Program, our skaters learn all of the fundamentals of figure skating.

Any new skaters in Kindergarten or above may choose to enroll in Basic 1 or Hockey 1.  New skaters not yet in kindergarten must begin in Snow Plow Sam.

The objectives of the program are:

  • To provide a fun and safe skating experience for the beginner as well as the more advanced skater

Welcome to the 2024-2025 Skating Registration!

This registration session will allow you to complete contact information, sign up for participation, and submit payment. Please read through each page carefully to ensure that all information is provided accurately.  The Participation Policy for those residing outside of the EGF city limits remains in place.  Also, please be sure to use current emails as we use this site for communicating with parents/guardians. To complete registration through our secure site, please have your Visa, MasterCard, or Discover account information available. Following the completion of this registration, you will see a charge on your account from City of East Grand Forks. The registration session will be open from Thursday, August 22nd and run through Wednesday, September 11th. After September 11th, $50 late fees will be applied to all activity registrations. The last day to complete registration for the 2023-2024 Winter programs will be Wednesday, September 25th.

The East Grand Forks Youth Skating Program is setup for residents of the city of East Grand Forks and those living outside of the EGF city limits but within Polk County who attend school in East Grand Forks.

Because our recreation programs are subsidized through residents' property taxes, all participants living outside of the EGF City Limits are charged a $40 additional fee per activity. The registration question that asks if you are a Resident within the city limits is answered on the honor system. If found to have answered incorrectly, you will be charged the additional $40 per activity fee plus a $35 administrative fee.

All users will need to setup an account through our new Sports Connect website to complete the registration process.

Our Learn to Skate program is designed to introduce individual skaters to a variety of skills. We use the United States Figure Skating Basic Skills Learn-to-Skate Program to teach all participants the fundamentals of skating. Skaters progress through the various levels and are tested at each level before moving on to a higher level. Participants must be at least 3 years of age to begin in the LTS lessons and also must be able to be on the ice without parents/guardians.

The registration is setup with options for those just in the Learn-to-Skate Program and also options for those in both the Learn-to-Skate and Synchronized Skating Programs. If participating in both programs, please select the combined pricing option when completing registration.

Please let us know of questions, 218-773-8000.
