INTRODUCTION

From June 5-8, 2025, SFSC will host its third annual S.H.A.R.P.4Sports Elite Skating Skills Seminar, led by nationally and internationally recognized coaches Kori Ade and Rob Peal, as well as returning assistant coaches Izzy and Antonio. This year’s Seminar will take place over 4 days to allow opportunities for even more individual and small group work and coaching.

Due to demand and feedback from last year, we have almost doubled the number of private lessons available this year for seminar participants. This year’s new programming also includes 4 a la carte mini-clinics, including an optional Program Performance Workshop. This seminar is designed to offer comprehensive small group programming that is tailored to dedicated skaters at all levels.

The Seminar will be held at:
THORNTON PARK ICE ARENA
