Adaptive Skating Program: The Adaptive Skating Program is designed to guide skaters with physical disabilities to develop skating skills. The program encourages skaters to begin and continue to develop skating skills progressively with the intention of maintaining recreational participation and competitive development. Skaters completing the Adaptive Skating curriculum may complete skills assisted or unassisted. The term “assisted” refers to the skater performing skills with the aid of another person. If skaters use an assistive device without a person, they are unassisted.  

Intro to Competing: Join our intro to competing class to learn more about artistry, choreography, and competing.  Participants will learn a program with elements from their level that could be used at a competition, but learning about choreography and artistry is beneficial for skaters who do not wish to compete as well.  Registration for the class does not include competition entrance fees.  The class instructor will provide information for parents to register for competitions should they wish to do so.  Competition participation is not required for class participation.
