-ABOUT THE ASPIRE PROGRAM-
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. If your skater is at a basic 5 or 6 level and wants more these classes are for them!
Aspire Class is a group class designed to help the graduates of the Basic Skills program (basic 5 & 6), 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.

A Brief COVID Disclaimer:

Due to Covid & CDC recommendations we strongly encourage everyone is mask while inside the rink and while unable to social distance (such as in group classes or private lessons). Are hope is to continue to move forward slowly while keeping everyone safe and classes open. Please be respectful and if you/your skater are not masked we ask you to socially distance while on the ice and in the stands. Also note, If CDC/Town recommendation changes or our community's COVID positive cases increase we will revert back to our stricter COVID guidelines put into effect by SCJH and CMI, this will include wearing a mask at all times, as well as no spectators and more. Both the current and stricter policies are available HERE please review before registering. We are wanting to welcome back & have as many skaters join us but, If you/your skater are not willing to mask at all times if policies change (due to reason stated above) you may want to reconsider registering at this time. If your skater is taking a private lesson please check with their coach on their mask policy/COVID Policies. SCJH will be keep you posted on any change to our COVID policy through email.

FAQ:
*What Level Is Aspire?
Aspire Is for skaters who have passed Basic 6 (we will accept Basic 4 & 5 as well). The group class will work on Basic 7 - Freestyle levels.
*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 increased about 15% from last season. Here are few things to keep in mind: First, SCJH does supplement the ASPIRE program by about 40% through fundraising and donations. SCJH is paying more for ice and coaching this season. We also understand it's a huge jump from LTS pricing but note; Aspire group has fewer skaters in the whole program (around 10). Your skater will get longer group lessons as well as longer practice time. Aspire skaters can skate 3 days a week as well! We do have scholarships available. Please reach out with questions you may have.
