All Missoula Figure Skating Club Classes include 10 classes. Each session starts with a “fun day” where the students work informally with coaches to ensure proper placement in classes. Weeks 2-9 are instructional sessions where the students receive ½ hour of instruction from an instructor in a low instructor/student ratio setting and then have 20 minutes of practice time with coaches on the ice helping students practice.
