Ice Skating Lessons in Morristown, NJ

My Dad took the picture on the left around 1981. I'm skating in the original rink at Mennen, now known as Rink 1. It's still my favorite rink!

These sessions are for lessons for singles, dance, and other skating disciplines and practice for those with skating experience. Unless otherwise specified, these sessions are open to all ages and levels. However, those below Basic 5 can benefit from being accompanied by an approved coach. You will also need your own figure skates. Rental skates, hockey skates, and semi-private (small group lessons) are not permitted at Mennen. 

I do not currently coach on Public Sessions. 

These are Freestyle Sessions hosted by the Skating Club of Morris on Mondays at 6:15 pm and Thursdays at 6:00 pm. Each session is 90 minutes. 

• The contract rate is $25 per session. 
• The Walk-on rate is $35 per session - permitted only if space is available and an ice monitor is present.

You are encouraged to contract ice if you plan on scheduling a lesson on any SCoM Ice Session so that you are guaranteed the space. Non-contracted skaters that schedule lessons on SCoM club ice may be responsible for full lesson payment even if they are denied as a guest.

A “guest” shall be defined as a Skating Club of Morris member who has not contracted for ice sessions or a non-member who wishes to skate on Club ice. 

1. Non-member guests must provide a valid US Figure Skating or ISI number to the ice monitor. 
2. Those wishing to guest, whether members or non-members, must be qualified for the session on which they wish to skate. 
3. Guests must check in with the ice monitor in charge of the session no earlier than 10 minutes before the session is scheduled to begin. 
4. Guests must pay the appropriate guest fee in advance of the session. No one will be admitted on the ice without payment. Payment by check is preferred. Cash is acceptable; however, the ice monitor may not be able to give change. 
5. Skating Club of Morris members, as well as US Figure Skating and ISI members, may guest as often as they wish as long as there is space available. 
6. The ice monitor is responsible for informing non-member guests of the ice rules. 

Guests should be assigned in the following order and priority: 

1. Regular non-contracted SCoM members. 
2. Pair and dance partners of regular members. 
3. Non-members. 

Guests shall be permitted up to the 25-person limit specified for each session.

In recognition of the need for all skaters to keep their focus on what is happening on the ice, and to be consistent with US Figure Skating’s guidelines, non-approved coaches,  parents and/or other family members/friends may not offer instruction to a skater from the ice, the boards, the bleachers or any other location. For the purposes of this rule, “instruction” includes providing feedback on the execution of elements, providing direction on training activities, and providing any other guidance about what a skater is doing on the ice.

Private lesson fees and admission to the session are separate fees.

 You must pay both fees and check in with the front desk before you enter the ice. There are no refunds for any reason.

Credit card charges will appear as "MCPC" or "Morris County Parks Commission" on your statement.

The Morris County Park Commission imposes a service fee of 2.05% on the transaction amount of the credit card product plus $0.20 per transaction, which is not greater than the cost of its acceptance.

As of January 1, 2022, professional fees are: 

• $90.00 for 60 Minutes**
• $67.50 for 45 Minutes**
• $45.00 for 30 Minutes**
