Skate Elite Teams

Our Skate Elite Junior skating program is perfect for young children who are either new beginners or newer to skating. Classes run on Sundays beginning September 15, 2024 and run through March 30, 2025.

Junior skaters are divided between the following groups, based upon age and skill level:

• New Beginners are aged K through 5th grade. New Beginners practice on the ice from 3:50 – 4:20 pm. New Beginners are not eligible to participate in Club Ice open skating.

• More advanced young skaters enter the Skate Elite Junior Team, which meets at 5:20 – 5:50 pm.

The cost for both New Beginners and Skate Elite Junior Team is $160 for the entire 12 week fall session. Members of the Skate Elite Junior Team are welcome to join Club Ice open skating, which takes place the hour before their team lesson.

The Skate Elite Senior Team’s goal is to enable our participants to achieve their individual skating goals, whether that’s to advance their skills for competition, scholarship opportunities, or to just improve their recreational skating. If your skater has graduated from basic learn to skate classes, then this is the program for them. Professional coaches place a heavy emphasis on spins, jumps and high power.

Our Skate Elite Senior classes are designed to help your skater progress into becoming a full member of U.S. Figure Skating. Our coaches have worked with National Champions, hold current memberships with U.S. Figure Skating, and have passed coaching certifications. Our world class coaching staff will help break down each skill and teach your skater the foundations of proper techniques on, and off the ice, in a safe and educational group setting.

• On ice group lessons –one hour practice weekly

Whichever payment method you choose, the benefits to the class include an hour weekly lesson focusing on both Figures and Skating Skills, then another hour of open skating. Also included, is participation in the fall ice show, the spring Rockford Ice Hogs exhibition, and the spring in house exhibition.
