Additional lesson options
Booster Lessons
Booster lessons are mini private lessons designed to give a “boost” with one-on-one instruction. These lessons are scheduled during public or freestyle sessions and lessons can be used to prepare for evaluations or to work on a maneuver that skaters may be struggling with. The lessons can also be used to learn new maneuvers or to get an idea of what private lessons are all about. You can speak to a coach of your choice directly to set up a lesson or contact our director to be paired with a coach.
15 minute private lessons will range $10 – $20
30 minute private lessons will range $20 – $40
Private instruction may be added to your skating agenda along with group classes at any time. Contact the Skating Director to learn more about “booster lessons”. Click here for additional information about the Learn to Skate USA program at Cool Sports.
