By DFW Rink Guide · Published Oct 19, 2026

In Frisco, learn-to-skate classes run at Comerica Center (Frisco) (2601 Avenue of the Stars, Frisco, TX 75034) through the Dallas Stars Skating Academy, which teaches the Learn to Skate USA curriculum. Classes cost $20 per class when you register ahead, or $40 per class for drop-ins, and skate rental is free on class days, according to the Skating Academy page (checked Oct 19, 2026). Young kids who want to try hockey can also join the free Dallas Stars Little Rookies program, which lists Frisco among its October and November locations.

Free ways to try skating or hockey

The Dallas Stars run two free intro programs for first-timers. Little Rookies is a free five-week hockey program for ages 4 to 8 with equipment provided; its published schedule lists Frisco in October and November (see the Little Rookies listing). Try Skating for Free gives participants of all ages 30 minutes of instruction per session, but it is only for people who have never taken a StarCenter on-ice program. Its 2026 schedule lists Richardson, McKinney and Northlake, not Frisco. By straight-line distance from Comerica Center, those rinks are Children's Health StarCenter McKinney (7.3 miles), Children's Health StarCenter Richardson (Ice Training Center) (12.6 miles) and Children's Health StarCenter Multisport Northlake (26.4 miles).

After the basics: hockey in Frisco

Once a skater can stop and turn, Frisco has hockey for several ages. Girls can join the Victory Green Girls Hockey League, which lists Comerica Center as one of its 2026-27 locations, or drop in to the Victory Green Girls Jamboree Series skill sessions. High schoolers can play for the Frisco Ice Hockey Association, which practices at Comerica Center. For everything else in town, see our Frisco youth hockey page or the full DFW youth hockey guide.
