Super Hero Day and the 1st May Cup in Annecy
|
2/5/2022
This Sunday several of our young skaters ; Léna Canale, Gaspard Courbion, Evy Garny, Tessia Gex, Nina Gros and Eva Ricard headed off to Annecy to take part in the first ever Super Hero Day organised by the Department with the Ligue AURA and the support of the FFSG which were represented by Anaïs Berthet. The aim of the day was to enable children aged 8 and under to earn their "Super Powers' through a series of different activity workshops. Each "super power" activity was linked to the different skills used in ice sports (agility, dance, strength, imagination, suppleness) and enabled the youngsters to discover different aspects of skating both on and off ice. The day of fun ended with the children receiving diplomas and medals. Well done to our team who behaved impeccably throughout, and whose enthusiasm, energy and hard work was exemplary throughout the day. Thank you to our coaches Catherine and Clemence and to the club secretary Janey who accompanied them on their Super Hero status mission. We'd also like to say well done to Avani Svensson and to Niarrha Ellys Van Oers who took part in the May 1st Cup competition for under 10's. It was Niarrha's first ever competition and we congratulate her on a good 7th place. Well done also to Avani who came 4th. |

Amazing work from our D3 team who came in an incredible 6th place (out of 18) at the national French Clubs Championship in Annecy this weekend.

We have about 100 members and a coaching team comprised of two nationally qualified skating coaches (DEJEPS) as well as qualified skaters, physical trainers and a mental preparation coach.
Our aim is to inspire as many people as possible to embrace the joy of figure skating and to nurture and develop the best possible performance for each individual skater.
Skaters can join the club from age four and can skate recreationally or at competition level.

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.
