Figure Skating
Freestyle Sessions are specially designated ice times that our figure skaters use to practice their skills or to take private lessons away from the hustle & bustle of Public Skating. All you need to take advantage of this ice is your USFS Member Number, which you receive as an enrolled skater in our Basic Skills Program. Please stop at the Front Desk for additional information and or questions.
