SM Skating Academy's Learn to Skate program takes center stage
MANILA, Philippines — As the year winds down, excitement fills the air—not just from the holiday season, but heightened by the thrilling celebration of World Ice Skating Day (WISD), which took place on December 15. This global fete of gliding and spinning, and the pure joy of skating finds its perfect local companion in the Learn to Skate program, now officially part of the SM Skating Academy.
For years, the Learn to Skate program has served as the launchpad for aspiring skaters, from curious beginners to those dreaming of the spotlight. Heading into 2025, SM Skating Academy is elevating this transformative program through its partnership with the Philippine Skating Union (PHSU), ensuring participants receive not only fun-filled experiences but also world-class instruction.
The program features three specialized tracks: Figure Skating, Speed Skating and Ice Hockey, allowing participants to explore their passion and hone their skills in their chosen discipline. This eight-week guided program, priced at P4,500, is designed for group classes but also offers one-on-one sessions for skaters who prefer a more personalized approach.
Whether you’re seeking a new way to stay active or simply looking to experience something magical, skating offers it all. Beyond the thrill, it helps improve balance, build confidence, and foster a sense of community among enthusiasts. The Learn to Skate program makes this world accessible to everyone, regardless of age or experience.
Guided by certified coaches, participants develop foundational skills in a structured and supportive environment. More than just learning to glide on ice, it’s an opportunity to discover a passion, unlock potential and possibly take the first steps toward a competitive skating career.
“We’re excited to launch the SM Skating Academy, where skaters of all levels can learn, grow and have fun on the ice! With our coaches and programs, it’s the perfect place to start your skating journey or take your skills to the next level. Together, we're shaping the next generation of Filipino athletes who will shine on the ice and inspire the nation,” said Nikki Cheng, president of PHSU.
