Advanced Figure Skating
Figure Skating at Cool Sports
Welcome to Cool Sports Skating Academy located in Farragut, TN. Our program is currently the only U.S. Figure Skating program in the area and the home skating rink for the Knoxville Figure Skating Club (KFSC), the first & only U.S. Figure Skating Member Club in Knoxville, TN.
The Cool Sports Skating Academy is dedicated to overseeing the growth & longevity of figure skating from the grassroots to champions. Our program starts with group classes and ends with a passion for skating. After advancing through beginner & intermediate group programs, most skaters continue their education with either advanced group classes (Bridge Program, Enhancement Classes) or private instruction…or in some cases both. Once on this path you will gain access to “freestyle sessions”. These sessions are opened only to skaters participating in the Bridge Program, enhancement classes or who are taking private lessons.
Wait! Before you hop on one of these sessions, there’s a few things you need to know.
STEP 1: Session Rules
The FS Session Handbook has been set in place for your safety and the safety of others. Before you can skate a freestyle session you will be required to learn these rules either from your Bridge Program / Enhancement Class instructor or your own private skating coach. It is very important that you learn the freestyle session rules and behave in a kind and courteous manner when you are skating these sessions.
STEP 2: Payment & Fees
All skaters MUST check-in at the front desk before skating any freestyle sessions (FS) at Cool Sports. A FS session fee of $12 will be charged to each skater per each FS session OR skaters may choose to purchase a Monthly Freestyle Contract which offers discounted fees for FS packages. Monthly Contracts are due the 1st of each month and can be purchased Monday – Friday between 10am – 6pm. Payments may also be left in the “Ice Skating” drop box located in the lobby of Cool Sports.
STEP 3: Guest Skaters & Coaches
Guest skaters & coaches must contact the Skating Director at least 48 hours prior to visiting a Cool Sports’ freestyle session. Only select sessions are open to guest skaters (highlighted in yellow below) due to safety concerns during high trafficked sessions. All guest skaters will need to know what skating category they fall into when skating at Cool Sports. Guests should only skate during level-appropriate sessions.
Please be sure to send your e-mail address to Nikki Copeland-Ronayne, Cool Sports Skating Director, if you would like to be included in weekly figure skating updates. These e-blasts include session changes, cancellations, skating news and upcoming FUN skating events.
Well now you’re ready….sk8 safe!
