The Glide with Pride program provides free group instruction for beginning skaters. It also serves to help build a community within Columbia Figure Skating Club by allowing younger members to interact with older and more experienced skaters in a positive and supportive environment.

The program is designed to allow qualified older and more experienced CFSC figure skaters help polish the developing skills of younger and less experienced skaters. It allows the older skaters to learn the basics of coaching techniques and to experience actual coaching situations.

This informal instruction time by volunteer junior instructors and assistants is intended to supplement, not replace, more formal figure skating instruction through group and/or private lessons.
