Advanced Level Classes & Teams

Aspire Academy

The U.S. Figure Skating Aspire program is the bridge between Learn to Skate group classes and U.S. Figure Skating full membership. Through the development of athleticism and artistry, skaters build a solid skill foundation that drives success on and off the ice. The Aspire Program is designed to help skaters learn how to train. From edge classes to endurance challenges, you’ll learn how to warm up like a champion, navigate freestyle sessions, and practice on your own. Students in Aspire and Aspire Elite must have a current membership at BFSC / Pelham Skate School & Aspire Academy Aspire Level.
