SCNV offers its members prime ice time on Monday evenings with a limited number of skaters per session.  Once again SCNV will be hosting two Power Stroking sessions (see below) as well as a dedicated Theater On Ice session (8:25PM-9:05PM).  For more information about Theater On Ice, please contact any member of the SCNV Board of Directors.  


Power Stroking Classes

SCNV is once again hosting two Power Stroking sessions for the 2011-12 Season.  The Power Stroking 1 Session (6:05PM-6:30PM) will be taught by Jill Smith. The Power Stroking 2 Session (7:10PM-7:35PM) will be taught by Lucy Galleher.  Sessions are designed to accommodate all levels of skaters from the lowest level to the most experienced. Participants will be taught appropriate edge control, posture and body alignment as well as power and speed during the stroking sessions. This class is designed to improve quality of movement in tandem with strength, thereby enhancing overall speed in the most efficient way. 
The fee for these classes covers the cost of the ice and the instructor. These sessions are not open to individual coaching.
