MORRIS COUNTY — Mennen Sports Arena ‘Learn-To-Skate’ program has been cited by U.S. Figure Skating as one of the top five programs in the country and is recognized for their high participant enrollment in the Basic Skills Programs. Mennen Sports Arena, a facility of the Morris County Park Commission is continuously recognized both nationally and locally for their exceptional skating programs.
Each year U.S. Figure Skating commends the basic skill programs which enroll over 1,000 skaters annually. Since 2008, Mennen Sports Arena’s ‘Learn-To-Skate’ has exceeded the 1,000 skaters benchmark, and during the 2014-2015 season enrolled over 1,300 students.
Reynold Fauci, Director of Recreation for the Morris County Park Commission, explained, “Our growth is a direct result of the tremendous coaching staff which consists of Olympians, esteemed hockey coaches, and show skaters with years of experience and all have a passion for instruction. Mennen’s step-progression approach realizes the individual goals of each skater and provides support to reach those goals.”
“Also the accessibility and variety of ‘Learn-To-Skate’ classes are major contributing factors to the program’s appeal,” he continues.
Mennen Sports Arena, located in Morristown, offers sessions year-round, with a variety of levels and concentrations for all ages and abilities, from tots to adults, and beginners to a more serious skater.
Jackie Kulik, Skating School Administrator or better recognized as the spirit and energy behind the program’s success stated, “’Learn-To-Skate’ skaters develop a love for the sport. Gradates of our programs have become show skaters, ice dancers in productions, such as Disney on Ice and the Ice Capades, Division I hockey players, and ice skating enthusiasts for life.”
Since 1975, ‘Learn-To-Skate’ has shaped figure and hockey skaters. With over 25 unique basic skills programs per session, classes for beginners to advanced skaters, and children to adults, Mennen has one of the most comprehensive programs in the nation.
