What is The Better Skater Program?
The Better Skater program is a comprehensive skating program designed to enhance the skills of skaters of all ages and abilities, from 4-year-olds learning to skate to 50-year-olds looking to stay in shape. Our program offers tailored training to suit every age group and skill level, ensuring that each skater progresses in balance, control, and agility. The result is a technically superior skater who can confidently handle themselves on the ice, thanks to a stride that maximizes speed while minimizing effort, as well as mastery of edges and stopping techniques. Throughout the program, skaters will learn to coordinate their body movements to generate maximum power, resulting in an exceptional skating experience.
