a The Gardens Fighting Falcon Youth House League: Nothing turns a youngster into a player like exposure to the game!

The official start of our Fighting Falcon program season is October 17th.  The Program is broken up into a "Majors" group (born June 1, 2000 or earlier) and a "Minors" group (born after June 1, 2000).  These cut-off dates may change as our numbers grow but we will continue with this split for the near term.  On the 17th we will have the entire Majors group practice from 10AM to 11:30AM.  Minors will practice from 12:10PM to 1:40PM.  In those ice slots we will have some practice time and a scrimmage and everyone will get a chance to meet the coaches and all of the other players. We will then look at how we will split each group into teams for the season.

The Gardens Ice House and the Chesapeake Skating School presents a new way to advance your figure skating skills in a new team atmosphere with the Mid-Atlantic Ice Dance College

This new program provides you with an alternative to the typical “a la carte” programs of private lessons plus ice fees, therefore offering a more affordable way to advance your child's skating skills in a quality group format and furthering their progress in the sport of Figure Skating. Classes are offered 3 days a week on Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday from 3:00pm till 6:00pm.

The Mid-Atlantic Ice Dance College’s goal is to provide each young adult and child with an increased knowledge of Ice Dance and Figure Skating while acquiring the proper techniques to improve their skating skills. From the time they arrive at the rink until they leave, they will be engaged in a positive team atmosphere.
