Figure Skating - Private Skating Lessons

Skaters desiring individualized lessons, preparation through the competitive ranks, or hockey skating skill development are advised to consider private lessons.

We have professional coaches who are independent contractor skating coaching who conduct lessons at the BGSU Ice Arena. Fees, lesson times, and availability are entirely at the discretion of the individual professional.

All BGSU Professionals are dedicated to the advancement of the sport of figure skating and carry personal liability insurance. Interested customers may use the provided contact information to arrange an appointment with a professional. Most lessons are conducted on the Main Ice during a figure skating session or, with advanced booking through the Skate Shop, on the Studio Ice.
