Summer Overview

 

 

 


Philosophy

All classes are structured on the USFSA Basic Skills Program guidelines and will comprehensively focus on those skills for a nine week period.  We have built our summer schedule in a matter that is intensive enough for those looking to skate throughout the entire summer, yet flexible enough for those who have other summer plans and can not attend all 9 weeks.
