Welcome to the wonderful world of figure skating competitions! Skating does so much for kids. It teaches discipline, focus, organization of time, thoughts and body awareness. Competitions are not a requirement of skating. However, competitions can be fun and very motivating because they provide an excellent opportunity for skaters to be creative, practice skills and presentation techniques, and learn good sportsmanship. It gives them character, focus, determination toughness and inner strength. The rewards will be great and the life lessons on preparing them both physically and mentally will be carried with them through their lifetime! At competitions skaters have an opportunity to assess their abilities compared to others in the same level by presenting a skating program. Scott Hamilton Skating Academy Clarksville is thrilled to welcome you to our first competition! Lace up your skaters and join us at Skate the Cumberland!
