Our clinics include:

  • OFF ICE STRETCHING AND CONDITIONING
    We strive to work with every student to meet their indivdual needs as it relates to pre-ice warm up and stretching. The skaters move through a total body warm up utilizing a variety of exercises, focusing on core strength, dynamic flexibility, and body awareness.

  • STROKING
    Emphasis is placed on the skater's ability to cover the ice by utilizing good technique and achieving maximum amount of pushing power thus accomplishing ice coverage with an effortless appearance.

  • JUMP
    Each jump is broken down into its different stages: setup, take off, flight, and finally landing positions. When understanding the biomechanics and fundamental positions required, the success rate of a jump is elevated. This benefits the skater in numerous ways. Jump patterns are also covered resulting in a more cohesive training session for skaters.

  • SPIN
    Different levels required for the skater to attain maximum points within the new International Judging System are covered. Understanding the mechanics of each spin relating to the blade, direction and edge creates a great advantage for any skater. Centering of spins, increasing and maintaining rotational speed throughout spins is also covered.

  • ICE BALLET
    This unique approach requires skaters to move together in a line or block formation. Focus is placed on deep flowing edges featuring all turns, Spread Eagles, Spirals, etc. Emphasis is also placed on the upper body, arm and head positions; all are equally as important as leg positions when striving to present the finished package.
  • POWER
    This is the highlight of our clinics. Skaters execute a variety of exercises skated to fast paced music utilizing different equipment (parachutes, resistance bands, and cones to name just a few). This is a strenous class focusing on skating ability, cardiovascular fitness and endurance.
