PREMIER SUCCESS
Although Premier Figure Skating Club is only ten years old,
it has successfully trained skaters, from tots, to adult to compete in local
regional, and national competitions. Four years ago a Premier skater was the
first single boy in Omaha to advance to U.S. Figure Skating's Junior Nationals.
In December 2004, three Premier skaters competed for national titles at United
State's Figure Skating's Junior National Championships in Jamestown, New
York.
In 2005, 6 out of the 10 Premier skaters who went to the
Southwestern Regional Championships advanced to
the final round. Of those, 3 qualified for the second year in a row to compete
for national titles at United State's Figure Skating's
Junior
National Championships being held in Westminster, CO in December 2005. In
2006, two of the Premier skaters became 2007 Regional Champions and qualified for
the third year to compete at U.S. Figure Skating's
Junior
Nationals in Cleveland OH. This year, David Leatherwood advanced to the
2008 Midwestern Sectional
Championships in Rochester Hills, MI.
More important than the pride we take in our skaters' tremendous achievements,
are the life skills learned when a young person is encouraged to do their very
best. Our skaters gain self-discipline, sportsmanship, self-confidence,
organization, worldclass fitness, and a lifetime of memories. With Premier
Figure Skating Club, you can succeed in more than figure skating - all while
accomplishing the most important thing for kids - having fun!
PREMIER PROGRAMS
Premier FSC offers both group and private instruction for all
levels and ages of skaters. Our on-ice and
off-ice, cost-effective group lessons
deliver proven results. Discover the basic skill of ice skating in our on-ice Learn
to Skate classes. Innovations classes, also on-ice, focuses on improving
technical skills and the mastery of artistic elements. Off-ice classes include
Conditioning to improve overall body strength, agility and flexibility. Jump
classes provide careful instruction in the most thrilling skating moves before
they are attempted on the ice. Summer camp is the most challenging part of our
program. During two weeks figure skaters face unique training challenges.
Constant training on-ice can leave ankles, knees and certain muscle groups
neglected. For young skaters, this can mean underdevelopment in critical areas
and a higher risk of injury.
Beach training is just one of the off-ice techniques employed by Premier to
train in these areas. The combination of sand and water offer great
cross-training to build strength in ankles and knees, exercise underdeveloped
muscles, execute Osgood-Schlatter preventive exercises and introduce advanced
skaters to higher difficulty jumps.
