Adult & Collegiate Freestyle Ice
Private Lessons & Independent Practice For Skaters 18+
Adult & Collegiate Freestyle Ice is a dedicated, structured session designed for figure skaters ages 18+ who are looking to advance their skills through individualized training, whether recreationally or competitively. During this time, adult skaters and members of the Indiana University of Pennsylvania Collegiate Figure Skating Team may work one-on-one with a coach in private lessons and receive personalized feedback to refine technique, develop new skills, and progress at their own pace.
This is an advanced session intended ONLY for skaters ages 18+ who are interested in learning the sport through professional instruction or are already committed to the sport. This is not a public skating session nor is it intended for adult hockey players. Professional instruction is required to participate on this session, though approved skaters may practice independently with permission from a staff coach they actively take lessons from or the Skating Director.
Unlike public skating sessions, this session provides a focused training environment with specific etiquette and expectations designed to support skill development and maintain safety on the ice.
