About

SkatePath

Features
Read full description

Never wonder what to practice next. SkatePath maps 83 figure skating skills — from your first two-foot glide to double jumps — into a guided path built on real prerequisites, so you always know what to work on next. ◆ SKILL PATH Every skill is connected to the ones it builds on ("back spin before the Axel"). Levels map to both Learn to Skate USA and the Japanese badge test system. ◆ LOG IN 30 SECONDS Can't touch your phone on the ice? No problem. Review your menu before you skate, then check off what you did afterward. Counts and feel are rough guesses — that's fine. ◆ SEE YOUR PROGRESS A practice calendar, weekly training time, and per-skill consistency trends make improvement visible. ◆ STAY ON STREAK Weekly goal rings, a frequency-based streak with automatic freezes, mastery badges, and level badges. ◆ REFERENCE VIDEOS Save your coach's recommended tutorials to each skill, or jump straight to a YouTube search. Skill order is a general guide — always follow your coach's plan first.
