Our singles program is designed for skaters that wish to excel in the world of competitive figure skating. This program is coached by national, World and Olympic level coaches. We offer specifically tailored on ice and off-ice programs to help skaters achieve their goals.
Under the Direction of Janice Morgan
Using a team coaching approach, our skaters learn in a supportive atmosphere from coaches with World and International competitive experience while pursuing their individual goals.
At Mariposa we believe that off ice training is instrumental in developing the athletic requirements for singles skating. Combining strength, conditioning, technique and movement in our programming is key to a skater’s success on the ice.
At Mariposa we provide programs for all levels of skaters. During the winter season, our Day Ice is available for skaters wishing to supplement their evening programs with extra training time, lessons and off ice services. We highly recommend engaging a Base Coach to assist your skater in reaching their goals.
Spring and Fall
Our Spring and Fall programs offer evening programs complete with on ice group lessons, open session time and off ice jumps. We welcome skaters and coaches from visiting clubs to join us in these off season schools to continue their training, preparing for assessments and getting an extended period of skating not offered at your home clubs.
Summer School and Summer Camp
During the summer, skaters are able to train during the daytime with programs designed to take their skating to the next level with designated sessions, off ice classes, off ice jump classes and specially designed group lessons.
Please visit our Programs for more information about specific programs and to register.
