CCA Figure Skating Club Programs
At CCA, we pride ourselves on being a non-competitive, "fun-first" club. To ensure every skater has the best experience and remains safe on the ice, it is essential that parents review the prerequisite skills for each level before registering. Skaters who do not meet the minimum skill requirements may be moved to a different class at the discretion of the coaching team.
We only offer group lessons, so skaters who require one-on-one attention or specialized support may find that our programming is not the right fit. katers must be able to navigate the ice alongside their peers, share space safely, and treat participants and coaches with respect in accordance with our Code of Conduct.
