The S4S 13+ Program focuses on athletes (ages 13 through graduation of LTS Adult  6), who are interested in learning the fundamentals of the sport of figure skating.  From their first steps on the ice, to landing a consistent axel, skaters will experience guidance in four curriculum tracks: Skating Skills, Jumps, Spins, and Off-Ice Training.  A strong foundation of technique will be established through the progression of levels while experiencing a positive and encouraging environment with their peers.  Skaters who graduate out of the 13+ Program curriculum are placed into the beginning levels of the Adult Training & Competitive Team (ATCT).

Focus:

Athletes learning the fundamentals of skating through small group instruction with specialized coaches and a positive learning environment with their peers.

S4S Standard Testing Procedures

SHARP 4 Sports strives for active progression and real-time confirmation of mastered skills.  Skaters can be recommended and evaluated on their skill sets at any coordinated date/time throughout the year.  There are no standard set test sessions with this approach.  

Each athlete will progress through a recommendation phase of skill achievement and a mastery signature by a certified evaluator.  Recommendation signatures on your curriculum sheets can be provided by any coach (in our outside of S4S) who believes you are ready to progress to an evaluation session for that skill. 

Once all recommendation signatures are achieved, please reach out to admin@sharp4sports.com and we will work with you to schedule an official evaluation of your full curriculum list.
