Freestyle Sessions
About
Freestyle sessions are the designated times for figure skaters to train and practice. We offer level-specific freestyle sessions Monday–Friday, and specialty sessions focusing on edge work. Visit the lesson office to see if freestyle sessions are right for your training.
View our freestyle session schedule online for the most up-to-date schedule. You must create your account online to register.
Each freestyle session is assigned a session credit rate as the admission to that particular session. You can either purchase the number of credits you need to skate a session, or purchase a credit package. You must purchase credits first and then register for freestyle sessions.
