Purpose: This exercise will help skaters to practice using their knee bend and pushes to help maintain flow with their counters.
Focus: counter rotation, knee bend, counter, c-step, flow, across the ice, edges

Purpose: This exercise will help skaters to learn how to use their knee bend and pushes to help maintain flow with their counters.
Focus: counter rotation, knee bend, counter, c-step, flow, across the ice, edges

Purpose: This video demonstrates how skaters can learn to go from a standstill to taking pushes.
Focus: balance, blade pressure, core strength.

Purpose: This exercise helps the skater get into their knees and ankles during warm-up. It encourages the skater to work to build power and speed on one foot which is necessary for clusters in a step sequence.

Purpose: This pattern allows skaters to work on combining their crossovers with an inside edge hold. The change of edges and the alternating sides makes it a good pattern for skaters to work on their general skating skills and quality of edges, as well as build power and speed.

Focus: Edge quali...

Purpose: This video introduces 5 key stroking exercises skaters should practice to warm-up their ankles and knees prior to getting into other skating elements.

Focus: upper body control, across the ice, flow, glide, balance, power

Purpose: An s-step can be done from a swing roll, which can help increase the depth of edge and maintain glide and flow and overall presentation during these steps.

Focus: Flow, glide, ease of movement, edge increase.

Purpose: This video is a good sequence of steps and edges to help skaters practice their skating skills.

Focus: Edge quality, flow, edge combinations, circle patterns.

Purpose: This exercise has a skater step into an inside edge with a bent leg then straighten to finish the rest of the lobe before stepping into the next inside edge down the axis. This is a great drill for skaters to practice edge control under different conditions, and changing from one conditi...

Purpose: This pattern allows skaters to work on combining their backward inside three turns with a c-step. The change of edges and the alternating sides makes it a good pattern for skaters to work on their general skating skills and quality

Purpose: This pattern combines backward outside three turns with a c-step to help you work on forward inside edges, backward outside edges and backward inside edges across the ice.

Focus: Turn placement, edge quality, stepping on the axis, across the ice.

Purpose: This pattern allows skaters to practice alternating forward outside three turns across the ice. This is a great on-ice warm-up for practicing edges, turns, and crossovers. The backward crossover to forward outside edge step forward is a good exercise to practice control and edge quality ...

Purpose: This pattern allows skaters to practice their spirals along with other skating skills like crossovers and edges.

Focus: Across the floor, flow, glide, ice coverage, skating quality

Purpose: This video shows how to practice alternating forward inside three turns in a continuous pattern across the floor. Skaters should practice being able to step from one three turn directly into the next to improve their skating skills.

Focus: Skating skills, flow, glide, across the ice, e...

Purpose: This pattern helps skaters practice their forward inside spirals in a pattern that moves across the floor or the ice

Focus: Across the floor, flow, glide, ice coverage, skating quality

Purpose: This video teaches how to do a forward inside three turn step forward crossover sequence. It breaks down timing of the sequence and body position.

Focus: Upper body position, arm position, foot placement, lobes, timing
