Medford Youth Hockey and Medford Figure Skating have extended their Fall-Winter Program Signups through to the end of November for Boys and Girls ages 4-15. Both programs offer the chance for Medford youth to learn to ice skate.

Ice skating has been acclaimed as one of the best physical fitness activities for young children. In addition, extended signups will allow boys and girls who are completing their Fall youth soccer, youth baseball and youth football activities to sign onto a winter skating program that runs through to mid-March.

Signups are every Saturday at the LoConte Rink off Route 16 in Medford at 11:00 a.m. for Medford Figure Skating and 12:00 p.m. for Medford Youth Hockey.

Call 781-395-2155 for Figure Skating and 781-395-6168 for Youth Hockey.
