Aspire

Our next Aspire class will be offered in fall of 2024. Skaters who are interested in Aspire would benefit from our Summer Skating Academy. Skaters will continue to work on their basic skills levels and be tested at the end of the session to see what level they are at. This will help determine if Aspire is the next best step. 

See the Aspire page for more information.
