FAQ
What makes this class different than our W.I.N. Sessions? The biggest difference is that Progress Sessions have an off-ice component as well as. During these off-ice practices, skaters will review skater videos with a coach for individual feedback. Skaters will also leave with sport specific drills and stretches they can practice at home.
Does my skater need to be a certain level to attend? No, skaters of all levels are welcome!
What if my skater isn’t interested in competing as a soloist? Skaters who don’t want to compete as a soloist or in a duet can definitely join our Progress Sessions. All skaters will learn a program so they can focus on connecting the skills they need for their next test level. There’s no pressure to compete or perform the program they learn.
How long is the class? The on ice portion of Progress Sessions is 50-minutes (4:00-4:50pm), the off-ice portion is 30-minutes (5:00-5:30pm).
What if my skater can’t stay for off-ice? We encourage all skaters to stay for off-ice if they can. This is an important portion of the class where they can review their performance (like watching game tape) to see where they can improve and where they are most successful. We find this helps skaters be less critical of themselves and feel supported by coaches and peers.
