Figure Skating

Sprinker Recreation Center offers a number of daily freestyle skating sessions for figure skaters. These are special sessions provided for the practice of jumps, spins, turns, advanced skating skills, etc. All Freestyle sessions, regardless of level, are strictly for figure skating practice and figure skating lessons unless otherwise noted.

Freestyle Sessions

Freestyle sessions are practice sessions reserved for figure skaters in private lessons with a Sprinker instructor. Sessions are 45-60 minutes and give skaters in our program an opportunity to practice amongst other figure skaters in a fun and positive environment while building camaraderie.

Private Lessons

Private lessons are available for all ages and abilities. Some students find that individual instruction is the best way to fine tune their skating skills. You can choose to use private lessons to supplement your Learn to Skate Lesson. Private Lesson information is available by contacting our Figure Skating Director, Janice Forbes.

Private Lesson fees are paid directly to the instructor and do not include ice time or skate rental. Ice time is paid directly to Sprinker Recreation Center prior to the start of the session.
