Ice time is treated as an open freestyle/dance/moves
in the field during which time you are free to practice your program, get
a lesson from the club's coach or just work on your crossovers, if that's
what you want to do. If you would like help preparing a program, the club's
coach can choreograph or give advice and the other skaters are always willing
to help. This practice time will be used for regularly
scheduled clinics from 7:00-8:00 am on certain
Thursdays. Regularity to be determined by interest levels at the
informational meeting.
Half hour of the morning ice time is reserved
for power stroking, when all levels of skaters are encouraged to work on
their speed, technique, presentation and endurance. Time TBA
Tuesday and Thursday 8:30-9:00 am
Following the practice, we hold an informal stretching
and torso strengthening session for those who want to stay.
Clinics
Our morning practice ice may occasionally
be reserved for skating clinics with guest coaches, to which all club members
are invited. Clinics focus on spins, jumps, footwork, spirals and spread
eagles. Topics are decided by club members and depend on the availability
of appropriate instructors. If you have ideas, please send them to the
club mailing list.
Off Ice Training
The speed skating club is allowing us to
participate in their off ice training on Mon. and Wed. nights from
6:30 to 8 in the Balch Fieldhouse. Please come early to warm up and
wear running clothes (tee-shirt, shorts, running shoes) and bring
sweatpants or a warmup suit for outside activities. They
usually concentrate on plyometrics, strength, and endurance. For more
