How to sign-up for freestyle sessions

Login or create your account. Please note: this account is different from the account you use to pay your coaches.
You must purchase freestyle session credits or a credit package before booking your freestyle session.
To purchase freestyle session credits, go to the “online store" tab. Next to the question "Would you like to purchase credits or rent a locker?" select "Freestyle Sessions" in the dropdown box.
Purchase your credits based on the amount of credits you need for a session or purchase a credit package based on how many sessions you might be skating for in a span of a day, week, month or for the season. A session is normally 4 credits or more.
Once you purchase your credits or credit package, go to the “Freestyle Sessions” tab to sign up for the sessions you would like to skate.
If you are having difficulty with your account to register for freestyle sessions or to pay your coach, please contact the office manager by phone at (703) 323-1132 or by email at officemanager@fairfaxicearena.com.

Specialty Session

Specialty sessions are specified freestyle sessions for jumps, stroking, spins or edge and footwork. These sessions may be taught by coaches with expertise in these areas.

Stroking: A specialty freestyle session designed to help skaters develop a strong mastery and power of their stroking, edges, turns, c-steps, and crossovers, and connecting these techniques to strengthen their footwork. A coach is included in the session. Please see the schedule for level-specific stroking sessions. Skaters must pay for this specialty freestyle session in advance before the skater goes on the ice like you would a freestyle session.
Jumps and Spins: Specialty freestyle sessions. There will be no coach provided in the session and skaters do not need a coach to do the session. Only spins are allowed on the ice during this session. Skaters must pay for this specialty freestyle session in advance before the skater goes on the ice like you would a freestyle session.
