Edge to Edge: An 8‑Week Adult Progression Through Aussie Skate Tests 7–10 at Acacia Ridge.
At Iceworld Olympic Ice Rinks in Acacia Ridge, the Aussie Skate™ Adults Test 7–10 is presented as an eight-week progression of short, focused lessons designed to build confidence on the ice. The program pairs on-ice technical work—balance, directional control and beginning jumps—with the low-key comforts of a rink-side coffee shop where family and friends can watch and warm up between sessions.
Highlights
Outing Highlights
From balance to continuous flow
The curriculum emphasizes one-foot work and the ability to change direction from forward to backward while maintaining momentum, progressing toward continuous free skating and comfortable gliding around the rink.
Linking turns and crossovers
Skaters work to connect crossovers with 3-turns and mohawks—building the linked skills needed for fluid movement and sustained speed around the ice.
Introduction to basic jumps and rink comforts
Coaches introduce basic jumps and guide skaters toward correct technique before further progression; the rink also offers a cozy coffee-shop area for warmth and refreshments while you watch lessons unfold.
What the day feels like
What a lesson series feels like
Over eight weeks, thirty-minute lessons move from foundational balance and edging into directional control and linked skating. Sessions are compact and skill-focused: you’ll drill one-foot work, practice changing directions without losing momentum, begin linking turns and crossovers, and receive coach-led introductions to basic jumps as you build toward continuous free skating.
