Training Opportunities
Freestyle Ice
Work with your coach or just practice.
Freestyle ice is offered for Fall, Winter, Spring, and Summer sessions and is available by contract or walk-on (space permitting). Ice times may vary from session to session.
Gate City FSC members receive a $1 discount per contracted session. If you skate two sessions a week, that discount nearly pays for the cost of club membership!
On-Ice Jump Harness & Electric Spinner
Master your skills.
Conway Arena, with support from GCFSC, has installed Sheila Thelen’s Champion Skating Harness and Champion Electric Spinner.
The skating harness is a figure skating training tool that can help you learn or master your skills - whether you are a novice or an advanced skater.
The electric spinner aids in vestibular training which is key in teaching/training balance, cognitive, and non-spatial disorientation. Skaters can improve their air time and position in a safe and fast-learning environment. All ages will benefit.
Skaters will need to have a waiver on file.
ALL USERS (skaters and coaches) must complete the On-Ice Jump Harness Waiver
COACHES must have proof of current liability insurance submitted to the Arena
