ACORD ASPIRE Figure Skating

U.S. FIGURE SKATING ASPIRE PROGRAM helps beginning figure skaters make the transition from learn to skate group classes into U.S. Figure Skating membership. Designed to go hand-in-hand with U.S. Figure Skating introductory membership. We keep skaters on the ice and teach young athletes and their families what it means to be a figure skater. Aspire offers various plug-and-play programming materials that organizations can combine to formulate a comprehensive package program. Resources include materials for on-ice classes, off-ice training, character development badge program, and parent education. The safe, supportive group training environment keeps costs down and motivation high as skaters acquire new skills, develop good practice habits, and learn the fundamentals of off-ice training alongside their peers.

Benefits:

• A desired and standardized “next step” for skaters in organized group lessons.
• A natural pathway into U.S. Figure Skating introductory membership.
• A standardized transition between affordable group lessons and more expensive private lessons.
• Teaches good practice habits on and off the ice.
• Introducing skaters to moves in the field, edge classes, and other skating disciplines.  
• Enhanced parental involvement and education.
