Private Ice Skating Lessons
Private lessons offer one-on-one instruction tailored to each skater’s individual needs and goals. This focused approach allows for personalized feedback, flexible pacing, and targeted skill development, whether the skater is learning the basics, preparing for tests, or training for performance. Lessons are designed to build confidence and consistency while ensuring steady progress on the ice.
Private lessons are for figure skaters/ hockey skaters of all levels and ages.
Rate: $57/ hour
Students usually do 30 minute ($28.5), 45 min ($42.75) or 1 hour ($57)lessons.
Off Ice Training
Off-ice training is an essential part of figure skating development, focusing on the strength, flexibility, balance, and endurance that support performance on the ice. Through targeted exercises off the ice, skaters build the body control and power needed for jumps, spins, and extension-based movements. Off-ice sessions also emphasize injury prevention, proper alignment, and overall athletic conditioning, helping skaters progress more confidently and efficiently in their on-ice training.

Students usually do 30 minute ($25), 45 min ($37.50) or 1 hour ($50) lessons

Group Lessons
Group lessons provide the opportunity to learn alongside others in a supportive, small-class environment with no more than three skaters on ice and no more than 10 off ice. This format encourages teamwork, motivation, and peer learning while still allowing for individualized attention from the coach. Skaters benefit from shared practice, fun collaboration, and the chance to build confidence together, all while progressing at their own pace.
If you have a group and would like to schedule a group lesson please e mail: valandkiwi191@gmail.com

Testing
Competitions/ Shows
From the U.S. Figure Skating Asociation (USFSA) : "U.S. Figure Skating tests serve as a prerequisite for competition and offer an opportunity for athletes to achieve personal goals in the sport. Test sessions feature a panel of U.S. Figure Skating officials and offer skaters the opportunity to highlight their abilities and advance to the next level. When a skater passes the final test in each pathway, they earn the honor of becoming a U.S. Figure Skating Gold Medalist."
​
Tests are available in skating skills, singles, pairs, and ice dance, and a separate track is available for adults age 21 and older.
​
What are Skating Skills Tests?
Skating skills (previously called moves in the field) are a series of standardized patterns used to evaluate a skater's foundational abilities in edge quality, posture, carriage, control, power, extension, and speed.
​
How do I test through USFSA?
You can work with coach Val to learn the designated patterns, programs, and skills necessary to pass each level in the discipline of your choosing. Then we can schedule a test date with a panel of registered USFSA judges.
USFSA has the following types of competitions:
