September 25, 26, & 27
The Rink at Lehigh Valley, Whitehall PA
Suitable for the advanced beginner and the racing competitor. This clinic includes 7 hours of on-ice instruction and 10 hours off ice/dryland instruction including video analysis and Techni-cords training.
- Find out how a little difference in body position, pressure into the ice, and timing can make a big difference in speed and efficiency!
- To have absolute top speed you must put your body in the ideal position to accelerate your body weight into your push.
- Discover the "secrets" that allow the Korean skaters to ride their blade while developing great power.
Top athletes are always looking for that little edge that can make a difference, so we are always tweaking and adding to our program to keep up with the latest developments in technique. That’s why athletes keep coming back to our camps year after year!
Register early. You do not want to miss it!
Many athletes have told us: "Even if you have done an Ellis Edge Camp before, it is well worth returning as Sue has a unique ability to keep tweaking and perfecting technique no matter what level you are at. Athletes who have attended 6, 7, even 8 Ellis camps keep returning and learning more each time."

"I began coaching full time in 1984 after 16yrs of competitive skating. One thing that stood out for me was that, although I learned heaps about skating, the methods used to teach it seemed complicated. I have come up with a progression of drills and a method of skating (ELLIS METHOD) that is not only simple to learn, but will allow skaters to feel an increase in power and speed in 'no time'."
