Silver Blades Figure Skating Club

RISING STARS PROGRAM - 7 weeks

May – 16, 23, 30

June – 13, 20, 27

July - 4

PROGRAM OVERVIEW
The object of the Rising Stars program is to nurture and develop skaters who show promise by gathering them together to work as a focus group. This is a pilot program and should the 7 week pilot have a successful outcome will then be extended to terms 3 & 4.

The intention is by pulling these skaters together they will quickly become a focused group improving at a faster rate than the general skate school classes.

Your child has demonstrated dedication and an elevated level of interest above the general skate school students to be invited to be part of the Rising Stars Program.

This program will run alongside the skate school; not replace the skate school classes and all students must continue their skate school classes to be part of the program.  

PROGRAM DETAILS
The proposed pilot will commence Saturday 16th May at 9.30am on ice for 30 minutes, the skaters will then participate in the skate school classes and then do 30 minute off ice class at 11am for a seven week period.

The cost to the skater is $70 for a 7 week program ($10 per week)

COACH
Coaching the Rising Stars Program is Australian Accredited Level 3 coach Richard Laidlaw, who has over 30 years coaching experience and works at all levels. Richard’s students currently hold SA & National titles and compete internationally.

PROGRAM SCHEDULE
Part of the program’s success is to introduce the structure of competitive skating to the novice skater and parents. The journey from Skate School into the competitive sport is sometimes a little confusing. This program will give parents direct access to the Silver Blades club and coaches who can assist with this journey.

The goal of the pilot program is for skaters and parents to have a clear understanding of what Silver Blades Figure Skating Club is, where to access the information and the role the club plays in the sport of Figure Skating.
