In a new pair of gloves and used helmet and skates from Play It Again Sports, the boy-child takes the ice for his first learn-to-skate lesson.
To my eyes, he seems to be doing okay. Not falling down a lot or anything.
After the class, he tells me he’s getting moved up to another group. They’d split the class into four groups on day one, and T was in the second group. I figured, cool – he’s moving up a level.
I talk to the coach and she tells me he should have elbow pads, shin pads and a stick for that level.
Well, a couple sets of pads … not that big a deal …
