Freestyle Incentive Program

Our coaching team is excited to launch a new Freestyle Incentive Program to help skaters make the most of their practice time!

Here’s how it works:

  1. Skaters use a practice plan sheet to guide each 30-minute freestyle session.

  2. After practice, they bring their sheet to a coach for a stamp.

  3. After earning 10 stamps, they can choose a prize from the Treasure Chest!

This fun program encourages consistent practice habits while preparing for upcoming shows, competitions, and tests!

Thanks to all who came out to celebrate coach Madalyn!
