Instructions

1. Preparation: Set up a clear, flat area for skating.
2. Skate Setup: Ensure all Cubs are wearing appropriate safety gear – helmet, knee pads, elbow pads, and wrist guards.
3. Warm-Up: Start with a 5-minute warm-up, encouraging Cubs to walk around the space in their skates to get used to the feeling.
4. Balance Exercise: Have Cubs find a partner and hold hands, one partner standing still while the other skates a few feet away, then return and switch roles.
5. Gliding Practice: Instruct Cubs to push off with one foot and glide on the other for a few moments. Encourage them to repeat this while trying to maintain their balance.
