U.S. FIGURE SKATING ASPIRE PROGRAM
The Aspire Edge program at the Berger Foundation Iceplex helps beginning figure skaters make the transition from learn to skate group classes into U.S. Figure Skating. A safe, supportive group training environment keeps costs down and motivation high as skaters acquire new skills, develop good practice habits and learn the fundamentals of training alongside their peers.
