Skaters of all skill levels and disciplines

Austin’s figure skating community calls Chaparral Ice home. Skaters of all abilities and disciplines have access to a variety of resources and services, both on and off the ice. Chaparral Ice has enlisted a roster of talented coaches and Austin residents can draw from the facility’s deep well of talent through Learn To Skate USA programs. We have intermediate skill classes, and advanced private lessons for recreational and competitive skaters of all ages.

Chaparral Ice hosts the Winners Circle Basic Skills Competition Annually.

Winner's Circle Basic Skills Competition!

Sunday, March 26, 2023

This competition is specially designed for skaters in our Learn to Skate classes to give them their first experience in the world of competitive skating! The competition is a relaxed, no-pressure event focused on introducing skaters to performing solo on the ice for a hometown audience and a panel of judges composed of friendly, familiar faces.

There are events for all Learn to Skate levels, from Snowplow to Free Skate 6 and ages 3 to 99. Skaters will compete in small groups with just their level. Every skater will receive a medal or ribbon and will get to stand on the awards podium for pictures!

If you are brand new to competitions, we recommend you schedule a few private lessons with one of our coaches to help you learn how to navigate the competition process. If you would like to schedule private lessons for the competition, please email kathy@chaparralice.com.

Private Figure Skating Lessons

PRIVATE LESSONS: Private lessons are a great idea for skaters who may be having trouble mastering skills, or for those who wish to advance faster or compete.

For private lessons, our coaches set their own rates and schedules. Most coaches charge between $35 and $40 per half-hour lesson. That fee is paid directly to the coach and the skater pays rink separately for public session or freestyle admission. Private lessons for skaters in Snowplow 1-4, Basic 1-6, Adult 1-6, and Pre-Free Skate are booked during our daily public
sessions. Skaters in Free Skate 1 and above may choose to take privates during the public sessions or private freestyle sessions (see above), depending on the schedule chosen by you and your coach.

To request a private lesson please fill out the private lesson request form.
