PROGRAMS:

​

On Ice Development

Set to standards, these classes will incorporate all areas of a skaters development on the ice. Content will include variations of the following: Creative Edge Class, Basic Skating & Stroking, Jump & Spin Enhancement and Performance Skills.

All classes will offer both technical and well as practical application of various exercises that will enhance the development of each of the above areas. Development/group Classes are taught in a group environment providing an hour of coaching tuition within the class. Not only do these classes provide enhanced coaching time, but the group environment also provides a highly motivational approach to lessons.

Fees for freeskate include ice costs only. On and off-ice Development, spin, group and theory sessions include coaching fees. Coaches will invoice all participants for their individual lessons. Private lessons must be pre-arranged with the coach of choice prior to booking ice sessions.

Off Ice Conditioning

​

Stretch Class
Nevena, our current club ballet instructor, will work with the skaters each week in order to strengthen their resistance and flexibility while maintaining safe and controlled postures. Each week will build upon the next, with the goal of having the skaters move beautifully while developing the flexibility in the shoulders, back and hips necessary for figure skating positions.  Private Lesson work can be arranged in addition to the weekly group classes. 

​

Pilates
Nevena builds the knowledge and awareness in each of the athletes for a system of exercises.  These exercises improve physical strength, range of motion, posture and enhance mental awareness.  Pilates gives athletes an edge mentally and physically.  The weekly practice reduces injuries, speeds recovery time, promotes efficient breathing and develops a solid mind-body connection. 

​

Theory
A classroom style class based on the history of figure skating.  Video footage, skating literature and fun exercises are all used to enhance an athletes love of skating while educating them about our rich history and special role models. 
 
Ballet
The most essential of all our off ice classes offered, Nevena will continue her theme of stretch and poise through her classical training of ballet. Any skater hoping to stay injury free and perform beautifully on the ice needs to set their foundation of ballet training at a very young age.
​
Dry Land Jumping
A mixture of rotational exercises, positioning work and skating specific movement patterns.  Dryland Jumping is a key off ice class for any skater in order to be technically efficient on the ice.  Off Ice Harness apparatus and Rotational Machine are both used to help each skater find body awareness, rotational axis and prevent injuries through development of triple and quad jumps. 
​
Strength and Conditioning
The purpose of this class, designed and taught by Richmond Oval High Performance Coaches, is to develop and maintain the core strength and conditioning necessary for peak skating performance. Healthy strength development and sport specific exercises allow our athletes to train the high technical demands while keeping injury to a minimum.  Oval HP has worked with our coaching team and our top athletes for more than 5 years.

Please keep in mind that there are no refunds or credits after the first day of skating. Changes (switches) to existing registrations may be made until the end of the 2nd week of the session. After that, sessions may be added at a prorated price, but no cancellations or transfers will be allowed. Prorating will not commence until the 3rd week of the session.

 

Important things to note:

• Communicate with your respective coaches on the sessions that you are signing up for.
