The Pitchouns come to Chamonix

02/10/2022
This weekend our club hosted the a trainman camp for the 'pitchoun' skaters. Organised by the Auvergne Rhone Alpes skating league it's aim was to help competition skaters under 8 years to get to know each other better, as well as to take them through a weekend of technical and rhythmical training both on and off the ice. There was a fantastic atmosphere for the whole weekend. That you to the commune for granting us the ice and the rooms to train in. Thanks to the Club des Sports de Chamonix, to the staff at the different locations and to ENSA. We'd also like to extend our thanks to all the coaches who came to join in this endeavour. Lastly well done to the little chamoniardes who took part - Avani, Evy, Eva, Lena and Amélie. You were amazing! |

The benefits of figure skating
Figure skating is both a sport that combines technique and artistry. It combines technical precision with grace, musicality and physical strength. Figure skating differs from other forms of skating such as ice dancing and synchronised skating in that it concentrates on jumps, spins, steps and transition movements and dance.
Learning to figure skate has many benefits for both children and adults. Physically the sport helps to develop excellent balance, good reflexes and coordination, as well as helping with postural control.
Skating requires concentration and self discipline - skills that very important in our sport. Learning to follow instructions so they can skate safely, taking responsibility for themselves and learning to be part of a team are all part of the learning experience for our skaters. In addition your child will get to experience the pleasure of skating in front of an audience and the fun of being with their friends.
It is a demanding sport, but one that is full of fun and joy - the freedom of gliding across the ice, the pleasure of skating to music and the pride you feel when you perfect a move - these are the things that we hope each of our skaters will experience.
