Captained by its accomplished namesake, Sonya’s Skating School’s team of NCCP-certified coaches ingrains ice-trekking pupils with proper skating technique while enhancing their strength, speed, and agility through individual correction. One-hour sessions imbue apprentices with boot and blade awareness, crossover control, and longer strides through drills performed by foremost NHL players and zambonis training for marathons. Recent revisions to the school’s regimen include the addition of pucks and sticks to some skating programs, and cardiovascular exercises choreographed to music, all intended to improve the skills of hockey hopefuls. Sonya’s Skating School does not teach beginner blade-wearers how to skate, so participants must be able to glide forward, backward, and across ice sculptures of juggling polar bears before arrival. Customers should consult the school’s schedule for class times.
