On-ice training of jumps, spins, stroking, edges, turns, and musicality will be developed through this mandatory 2-day per week program. Class sizes are kept small (7 skaters per coach or less) in order to allow for individual attention. Skaters must show their commitment in enrolling in the entire twice-a-week program.

Off-ice training improves the skaters' flexibility, strength and coordination. Jumping technique and air positions as well as general skating knowledge are taught in the off-ice portion of the program.
