Winners Edge Development Camp for Figure Skaters

DEVELOPMENT CAMP FOR FIGURE SKATERS June 22-25 and August 17-20, 2008
The Winners Edge Figure Skaters Camp is a program designed to address the development needs of the figure skater at all levels. Skaters will be grouped according to level of jumps they are consistently landing and currently working toward or need/desire assistance on to be the most beneficial for each individual skater, regardless of age or level. The focus of this camp is to promote a creative atmosphere in which the skater can reach beyond their current comfort level to become a stronger and more confident skater, while having fun in the process. This camp is designed with the skater in mind. On Ice classes will include jumps, spins, artistry and stroking. Off Ice classes will include strengthening, power, plyometrics, flexibility, balance and aerobics.	Mr. Kerry Leitch is a National, World and Olympic Coach with over 40 years of coaching experience.
