Freestyle Sessions do not include instruction like a Learn to Skate class. If there is instruction is has been previously arranged with a coach. This is ice time is not utilized to just come skate like a public session or where you first come to skate if you have never skated before. ​ Freestyle sessions are different than public skating sessions as they are for practicing skating skills. Usually, these sessions cost more than a public session and skaters must be in a figure/hockey skating program. Freestyle sessions are designed for skaters of all ages and abilities to work on individual skills, advanced skating skills, choreography, and jump and spin technique. Skaters can also get private lessons from a coach of their choice on these sessions. This is a great opportunity to practice what you have learned during learn to skate and grow as a skater. This ice time is also used to practice your individual or small group routines for shows or exhibitions held by the figure skating program. Individuals with a private hockey lesson must be accompanied by a hockey coach during freestyle sessions. It is important to utilize Freestyle Sessions because you are not fighting against public for your program, moves, or practice. It is also very important to get used to this type of practice session especially if you are wanting to start competing.

To start private lessons, contact a coach please visit our instructor page and fill out a PRIVATE LESSON REQUEST form. ​ A coach will allow you to do the following: Move faster through the skating levels, Participate in skating shows/exhibitions with solo or small group routines, Complete tests for Freestyle 1 (ISI) or Pre-Preliminary (USFS) and higher, Attend competitions held ISI or USFS (recognized figure skating associations). All lessons should only take place on our Freestyle sessions. However, exceptions can be made due to availability but we encourage everyone to try to utilize Freestyle sessions as much as possible. How to Change Coaches? Sometimes you do not click with a coach, their style of teaching is just not working for you or you have outgrown the current coach's knowledge. Don't worry, it is a common thing. If this happens, be upfront with your current coach as to why you want to switch. They should be understanding and may even suggest which coach to switch to. However, if you already have a coach in mind wait to approach that coach until after you have spoken with your current coach. It is good to make sure that everyone is aware of the potential change and feelings are not hurt in the process. If a coach approaches you regarding lessons, please acknowledge the request but also do your own research on who you want to work with. You do not have to go with the first coach you know. Every coach brings different things, and you just need to find the one that fits you.

No. Freestyle sessions do not come with instruction. You have to schedule and pay a coach separately in order to get instruction.
