Progress pattern

The mainstay of the club is the skating school, through which new skaters are brought to the club.

The basic skills of figure skating are practised at the skating school. Age groups are indicative and skaters are placed in a group that matches their skills and not just in an age group. As skills accumulate, skaters can move to either a hobby group or a solo skating development group as recommended by the coaches.

The hobby group practices a variety of skating skills, such as steps, slides, pirouettes and easy jumps.

All competition levels have age and skill requirements set by the Finnish Figure Skating Association. Coaches evaluate by using their expertise the competition level for each skater. 

Training groups and competition levels do not go hand in hand. Coaches decide in which group everyone can train, regardless of the competition level.
