We use a science based approach to teach the fundamentals of balance and edge control. Our staff is trained in the basics of biomechanics, the sports science field that applies the laws of mechanics and physics to human performance. We use this knowledge to help each skater reach his or her full potential on the ice. The mission of the USFS Basic Skills Program is to provide a goal-oriented program that encourages ice skating at all levels and to enhance the quality of skating skills at these levels.
