Got  Ice? Teaching Ice-Skating as a Lifelong Activity
  Brenda C. Tarkinton  & Grace Goc Karp

Abstract: With today’s  focus on the importance of lifelong physical activity, educators are  increasingly offering a variety of such activities in their classes, as well as  in before- and after-school programs. This article describes the benefits of  offering ice skating as a challenging and rewarding lifetime activity, either before  or after school or in physical education (if time allows). It also discusses rink  logistics, safety and equipment, program and lesson planning, and support from  schools and parents.
