The focus of this clinic will be on Power, Edge Quality, Continuous flow, Steps and Turns. Emphasis will be on power, edge pressure, lean and proper body alignment.

SCHOOL FIGURES Clinic

Prerequisite: Pre-pre skating skills and above

Figures teaches skaters how to skate with clean edges, control turns, balance, and proper technique, all of which are essential as a foundation for program elements as well as for overall skating execution/performance

Why figures? Having strong foundation, knowledge and control will carry over so skaters can do clean correct turns in their leveled step sequences therefore maximizing points. We will start with basics but have skaters cater their time working on whatever turns are part of their moves tests and beyond. Even skaters that have passed all their moves tests could benefit from figures and refining technique for step sequences.”

T.E.A.M. - Together Everyone Achieves More
Prerequisite: All levels welcome
This is a skater favorite! Skaters have the opportunity to divide up in small teams for skating challenges. Skaters of all levels will enjoy participating. This has been a great way to develop skating friends and fun memories with a friendly competitive spirit.
