The Friends of the Kelly Rink is a community funded non-profit with the aim of making ice skating accessible to everyone, but especially the youth of JP and Roxbury aged 5 years on up. Classes are held on Saturdays from January 9 to February 27, 2027 with a weather make-up date on March 6 as necessary. Skating lessons are 30 minutes with slots at 11:00, 11:30, 12:00 and 12:30 with a slightly different selection of lessons at each time.
- Classes are for ages 5 years and older.
- In keeping with our organization’s mission of making skating available to all, our lessons are priced on a no-questions-asked pay-what-you-can-afford basis up to a suggested $100 donation (which includes rental skates). You may pay online or at the rink on your first day of lessons by cash or check if you prefer.
- Registration will open December 1 at 7am at https://friendsofthekellyrink.corsizio.com/.

“Literally no better way to learn to ice skate!”
“I fell in love with skating this winter! I gained confidence and had so much fun skating with my kids who are also learning.”
The class gave my son, who had been hesitant about going back to skating, an amazing season. He can’t stop skating now!
“Adult 2 was such a great class! I went from being a bit fearful skating forward in the ice to confidently gliding on one foot. I can’t wait for next season to start Adult 3!” Side note: I am glad the adults are on one side of the ice somewhat away from the kids lessons.”
It was wonderful! Please thank Michaela for us! Paloma was sorry to not say good bye to her. Paloma improved so much and now wants to go to the Olympics!
