Karn Jr does our best to group by similar ability while taking into consideration age/ability/preferences/siblings/carpools/etc. Please only select options you're able to join as we piece together the jigsaw puzzle while registrations are coming in.

Registration Now Open

Payment is not required to reserve your spot.

Please select your preferences (even if there is a waitlist) so that we can move you if we get openings. It is advised to also select an open spot in case we don't get openings in the waitlist options.

Please do NOT show up for a lesson until you have a confirmed spot.


2024 Sept-Dec Registration opens Monday, July 22nd

Following an early registration for current students.


Get your kids started with the best skating training in the Twin Cities!! Our Karn Jr. Program was started by Jodi (Skjei) Karn and her daughter, Kelly Karn! We saw the need for small group instruction for the the younger skaters (4yrs - 8/9 yrs).

Jodi's extensive teaching experience allows for a FUN, accelerated program for young skaters. This is a great place for a young skater to get started without the hockey commitment. We work with beginners (4+ yrs old) with little skating/hockey experience through 8+ yr olds who have already played a few years.

Karn Jr. participants MUST be able to fall and get up all on their own without assistance before joining the program.

With our small group format, we do our best to group kids with others of similar abilities.

Karn Jr. kids graduate to Karn Skating Dynamics (KSD) after they are able to demonstrate specific skating (holding backward outside edges) and stickhandling skills.
