Selecting a ClassSkaters
are an extension of the group classes offered by the Your Club Ice
Arena and sanctioned by the Ice
Skating Institute and the USFS. Many skaters may already be taking
private lessons
from staff coaches. Our Summer Skating
Academy workshops
are
taught by Professional Skating Association ranked coaches who also
teach the ISI group classes and work with private students who enter
regional, sectional, and national qualifying USFS competitions.
Your club's advanced skaters, who are proficient in the elements being
taught in the
class, will serve as demonstrators. Judges will be invited to
provide their input. On-Line self paced
educational modules allow parents to print
materials and provide a forum to establish a dialog with coaches,
judges, and other skating parents that is frequently difficult to
establish without an opportunity to ask questions before or after the
workshops. Registration InformationThe weekly classes meet once a week for eight weeks. The schedule, topics and fees are being developed and will be posted shortly. Registration is for
an 8-week period. A skater may makeup a class by attending a
matching class if arranged in advance and space is available. Limit to
one per series of workshops. Walk ons are allowed,
limited to space available. Registration is open
to all home club members. USFS and Basic Skills members of other
clubs may enroll if space is available. A $12 USFS Basic
Skill membership is required for all ISI skaters who wish to
participate. Membership runs July 1 to June 30 and includes
insurance
coverage.
New members can join
anytime throughout the year. The traditional membership year is Oct. 1
through Sept. 30, coinciding with the competitive season. You can
expect to receive your member benefit mailing in September (trading
pins, media guide and FOFS gear). The registration
fee for ice and lessons
