Basic
Skills Program Summary
AFSC skaters normally begin to skate in a group lesson environment called Basic Skills classes. These classes are a way to learn the basics of skating, whether your child’s interest is in competitive figure skating, recreational skating, or hockey. The levels and moves are determined by guidelines from the USFS (United States Figure Skating) organization.
There are eight levels in the Basic Skills Program. Skaters
are tested at the completion of each skating session, and move to the next
level when they are able to perform each of the required elements of their
current level. Tests are administered by USFS certified coaches and skaters
receive certificates of completion upon passing each level.
When a skater has passed all eight Basic Skills levels, they
continue instruction in the AFSC Freeskate Program.
There are six levels in the Freeskate Program. Skaters are tested at the completion of each
skating session, and move to the next level when they are able to perform each
of the required elements of their current level. Tests are administered by USFS
certified coaches and skaters receive certificates of completion upon passing
each level.
When a skater has passed all six levels of the Freeskate
Program, they may continue to advance their ice skating skills under the
continued instruction of a private coach.
Skaters who advance to this level are usually involved in USFS
sanctioned competitive testing sessions and competitions with other skaters at
their level.
Please contact your child’s coach for more information
on competitive testing and competitions
held throughout the year.

Private Ice time
is available for purchase to allow any level of skater more time to practice
their skating skills and to allow time for private instruction with a professional
coach. Your skater will advance more
quickly with additional private instruction than they will if they are only
involved in one regular class session per week. Purchasing private ice time also allows your skater time to
practice their new skills by working on a program with music that they may
perform at club exhibitions or use at a USFS competition. Please click on
the link above to register your child for private ice time or contact any board member to purchase a private
ice punch card.
