PowerWest Athletics
PWA programs emphasize correct technical skating including stride development, agility, speed, balance, quickness, and readiness through the effect of edges. Our programs are unique in their program format, low ratio of instructors to participants, and are known for their professional skating instruction. Striding for excellence for 30+ years in coaching. Instructed by Mena Westhaver and her team of PowerWest Athletics coaches.
Edge Class
Taught in a unique format so everyone is moving at all times and challenged at their own level. Edge classes follow the “old school figure model” covering all edges forwards and backwards, transitions, accelerations and decelerations with an emphasis on balance, control, power, and strength. Register for the full program or register in the drop-in classes for $35 each. Please register in the appropriate course ID.
