Summer Competitive Skating Development
On-Ice Specialty Class
Taught by the RMU Island Sports Center's top-rate staff, this class focuses on the aspects of figure skating sometimes overlooked in practice sessions, incorporating stroking enhancement and style development with jumps, spins and footwork. A program practice session is offered every Friday to enrolled skaters. When necessary, two coaches will instruct the class, and skaters will be divided into groups based on skating level and experience.
Off-Ice Conditioning
World and Olympic champion Elena Valova and RMU Island Sports Center staff instruct skaters in off-ice training techniques to enhance on-ice training and the development of skating skills. This class helps skaters improve on-ice performance by increasing strength, flexibility and endurance. Off-ice conditioning is essential for developing single, double and triple jump techniques and can enhance skaters¿ potential through proper training and nutrition.
Ballet & Style for Figure Skaters
In this class, skaters learn to enhance artistic impression and increase overall flexibility through proper body alignment, stretching and presentation. Skaters learn how these techniques relate to individual style development and overall presentation on the ice.
Please note: A minimum of three skaters must be pre-registered in order for specialty classes to be held. In the event the class is not held due to lack of registrations, a credit or refund will be issued to pre-registered skaters.
