Parents of basic skills skaters are involving their children in a great program at The Skating Academy. The Skating Academy provides the introduction to a sport that your child can ultimately participate in recreationally, competitively, as a part of a team, or individually. Figure skating provides an excellent outlet for children to develop both mentally and physically, and is challenging in a creative, fun way!
We hope the information provided by U.S. Figure Skating for parents of basic skills skaters will be an excellent resource for you.
