The Bend Ice FSC Development Academy follows the official skating curriculum that is provided by Learn to Skate USA, a division of the United States Figure Skating Association. It provides a bridge between the Bend Parks and Recreation District (BPRD) skating program and your path to joining the Bend Ice FSC and participating in our club events and performances.
