The Power Stroking session, 7:00 to 7:30 P.M. is being taught by Nikki Carpitella. The session is designed to accommodate lower level skaters as well as the most experienced. Participants will be taught appropriate edge control, posture and body alignment as well as power and speed during stroking. This class is designed to improve quality of movement concomitant with strength, thereby enhancing the overall speed in the most efficient way.
The fee for these classes covers the cost of ice and instructor. These sessions are not open to individual coaching.

Skaters interested in joining SCNV and subscribing to skating sessions should return their contract applications as soon as possible. The sessions are filled on a first come first served basis. Please contact the SCNV Session Chair Sharon Borland, at sharon@scnv.org for session related information, and Membership Chair, Lisa Okada, at lisa@scnv.org for membership and other information.
