GROUP DEVELOPMENT
Blazers Ice Centre is proud to partner with the US Figure Skating Aspire Program to offer high quality, affordable group development opportunities for our skaters. These courses are intended to guide and support skaters as they transform from recreational skaters to figure skating athletes. No matter who you are, there is a class for you.
Tuesday and Saturday Learn to Skate classes are our jumping-off point. These classes are where skaters learn the basics. All Aspire Group Development courses listed here are intended as supplements to Learn to Skate, so course prerequisites are described in terms of Learn to Skate level. Some courses are appropriate for brand new beginners, and some are more difficult. Please be sure to select courses that match your skater’s age and skill level.
