The Bridge program is for skaters who have passed their basic skills 5 or 6 and wish to transition through the USFS Freeskate badges and into the Club. The role of the bridge program is to teach skating skills at a faster pace in a group lesson and to introduce the skaters and parents to the benefits of club membership. Participants will be a club member or a current basic skills member (basic skills members must provide a current USFS card confirming their membership). The skaters get a 30 minute lesson and 30 minutes to practice
In addition to skating skills other items of necessity will be broached such as: proper stretching techniques, warm up and cool downs, stroking, ice etiquette and most importantly ice safety.
