ASPIRE

Your Next Step in the Skater Journey

 

Aspire is the bridge from Learn to Skate USA into U.S. Figure Skating — where skaters of all ages take their first steps into the world of figure skating. In a fun, supportive group environment, skaters develop proper technique, learn all single jumps and basic spin positions, and prepare for their first test: Pre-Preliminary Skating Skills. 

 

ABOUT ASPIRE

Aspire offers both youth and adult programs, as well as opportunities to explore different skating pathways — from singles to synchro and beyond.

The three main components that are included in Aspire programming are:

  1. On-ice training – Learn new skills and refine your fundamentals. 
  2. Off-ice training – Build strength, balance, and confidence. 
  3. Parent & skater resources – Tools and guidance for success on and off the ice. 

Program details vary by location, but all Aspire programs introduce new figure skaters to structured training and the supportive skating community. Check with your local rink or figure skating club to find Aspire programs near you.
