LESSONS AND PROGRAMS

ICE SKATING PROGRAMS

We offer a variety of programs for skaters who are interested in figure skating, hockey, or both! No matter which pathway interests you, a skater’s journey begins with the Learn to Skate program. Classes are grouped based on age and ability level (we even have teen/adult classes for beginners).

After a student graduates from Learn to Skate, those interested in the figure skating pathway will begin our Aspire program, a bridge program designed to help skaters progress into becoming full members of U.S. Figure Skating! We are currently the only U.S. Figure Skating program in the area and the home skating rink for the Knoxville Figure Skating Club (KFSC). Those interested in the hockey pathway can check our large variety of hockey programs.

We can’t wait to watch you begin your skating career. For further information or for assistance with deciding the best skating path for you, contact Lucie Krausova, at [email protected].

YOU CAN COMPETE!

COMPETITIONS

ALL skaters at Cool Sports can compete, whether you are a beginner or advanced! Skaters may choose to compete in a solo program to music, with a friend in a duet, or even in a small group. If you are interested in competing, a coach can help you guide you along the way, from creating a program to registering to compete.

Once you decide to compete, there are many options and locations available to you. We briefly go over some of the more popular series pathways for Cool Sports skaters below, and you can read more in-depth about these pathways at USFS Online.
