FSCSM Skating Academy
Figure skating is a blend of artistry, athleticism, and grace on ice. The path to success for skaters lies in a comprehensive training program encompassing both on-ice and off-ice components. Therefore, we are thrilled to introduce our FSCSM Skating Academy.
Running alongside our Learn to Skate (LTS) programming, the Academy offers four levels of on-ice instruction - developmental, junior, advanced, and elite - and off-ice training, including flexibility exercises, jump training, dance, and weight training, allowing skaters to hone their skills on and off ice.
Each level of FSCSM Skating Academy offers unique benefits and focuses on training designed to enhance the skater's overall performance and well-being.
Developmental:
Snowplow 1-4, Basic 1&2
The Developmental level of the FSCSM Skating Academy caters to novices who are taking their first steps on the ice.
