All-Inclusive Program
Maximum Ice Time
With over 30 hours of ice time per week, our schedule allows for optimal practice, maximum skill refinement, and the necessary repetition required to master the most challenging jumps and elements. Our dedicated ice sessions prioritize high-level competitive skaters, ensuring a focused and intensive training environment.
Comprehensive Training → Specialized Off-Ice Discipline
We combine rigorous on-ice coaching with specialized off-ice training to build powerful and well-rounded athletes. Our state-of-the-art facility includes:
Electric Spinner and Harness System: Essential tools for high-revolution jump technique mastery, allowing skaters to safely practice and perfect triple and quad rotation skills.
Precision Strength and Conditioning: Programs designed by certified athletic trainers to increase explosiveness, endurance, and core stability, directly translating into more powerful skating and reliable jump consistency.
Ballet and Pilates: Core foundation disciplines that enhance flexibility, artistic expression, posture, and body awareness—critical components for elevated component scores and injury prevention.
Collaborative Coaching Model → Unified Strategy for Success
Our expert team works together to create a unified, cohesive strategy for each athlete. Our coaches meet regularly to discuss progress, monitor skill acquisition, and coordinate training loads. This model ensures:
Consistent Feedback: All coaches are aligned on your goals, delivering a unified message and consistent technical instruction.
Holistic Plan: Your technical coach, choreographer, and off-ice trainer all work from the same roadmap, ensuring your strength training perfectly supports your jump technique and your conditioning matches your program intensity.
Integrated Academic Support → Excellence On and Off the Ice
We believe that discipline in academics complements discipline in sport. We provide a dedicated, structured study space on-site and offer flexible academic tutoring to ensure you excel both on the ice and in the classroom.
Our strong academic support allows competitive skaters to maintain a challenging training schedule without sacrificing their education. We partner with flexible academic programs, help manage competition travel deadlines, and foster the time management skills necessary for success in college and beyond.
