-Welcome To SCJH'S NEW Aspire Academy-
​
ASPIRE is a revised version of the bridge program, the U.S. FIGURE SKATING ASPIRE PROGRAM helps beginning Figure skaters make the transition from learn to skate group classes into U.S. Figure Skating membership. 

Aspire Class is a group class designed to help the graduates of the Basic Skills program, as well as more advanced Basic Skills skaters, "bridge" the gap between Basic Skills and Advanced/Private lessons. Skaters meet twice a week for on ice group instruction. Each level is divided into three sections: skating skills, spins and jumps. The levels are designed to give skaters a strong foundation and it is at this point the skater can choose to pursue a recreational or competitive approach to the sport of figure skating as they move into our Advanced Academy. We will be focusing on skill building as well as recognizing character development. Aspire athlete and the words that represent teaches skaters: Attitude, Sportsmanship, Perseverance, Integrity, Respect and Effort.  With these character development value words, U.S. Figure Skating will be implementing an Aspire badge program. Aspire skaters will have the opportunity to collect these badges throughout the year with the goal of eventually achieving each of these ASPIRE words.

FAQ:
​
*What Level Is Aspire?
Aspire Is for skaters who have passed Basic 6.  The group class will work on Basic 7 - Freestyle levels.  

*What is Off-Ice & Where is Off-Ice?
Bridge Skaters will join our advanced academy for twice a week off-ice class.  The class will meet in the warm-up area.  Skaters will work on Cardio, Strengthening, stretching, core strength & jumping. - Due To COVID all off-ice classes have moved to virtual (please sign your waiver and like SCJHOffIceClass on Instagram) SCJH will reevaluate in December. 

*What is Open Practice/Freestyle?
​This is the time where the skater will practice the moves they have been working on during group.  Skaters can take a private lesson during this time as well.  Please book and pay for all privates directly through your coach.

*What Does my skaters wear? 
Comfort and moving freely about are essential for Aspire skaters. Choose tight skating pants or stretch leggings instead of bulkier snow pants (wide leg pants are easy to catch a toe pick in) or jeans. Bring a jacket & tight fitting zippy underneath too. Indoor rinks do set thermostats at a brisk 50 degrees Fahrenheit. No heavy ski clothes as they prohibit movement and bending! Please bring gloves & a water Bottle to every class! Skaters should also have hair pulled back in a tight pony-tail (out of face).

*Why the price increase?
We do understand that the price has jumped a lot from LTS. Here are few things to keep in mind: First,  Aspire group has fewer skaters in the whole program (around 15). Your skater will get extra ice to practice as well.  Skaters will get a bonus day a week to be able to come and skate. We do have scholarships available. Please reach out with questions you may have.
