Registrations are now being accepted for the Vernon Figure Skating Club’s 2022-2023 season.

VFSC offers a wide range of skating programs for all ages providing the tools needed to progress in skating. That includes from learning to skate, to competitive skating, to developing figure skaters, hockey and ringette players looking to accelerate their skills.

“Our professional coaches allow each skater to progress at their own rate while having fun,” a club news release stated.

CANSkate is a dynamic learn-to-skate program for boys and girls with a focus on fun, participation and basic skill development. Professional coaches, assisted by trained program assistants, help skaters improve their basic skills, whether their focus is figure skating, hockey, ringette, speed skating or just skating for fun.

CANPower is a power skating program geared to hockey and ringette players that focuses on balance, power, agility, speed and endurance. Skills, techniques and conditioning drills are taught in a progressive format that emphasizes how the skills apply to game situations. The program provides an alternative to figure skating and is an excellent complement for those athletes playing hockey or ringette.
