"Joining Elite has been a massive positive in our lives. This club demonstrates best practice in everything from outstanding levels of coaching, mindset mentoring, aspirational long term vision and a true commitment to get the best out of each and every skater. Politics and prima donnas have no place here. Instead there’s a palpable love of this wonderful, challenging sport that inspires each skater and even affects us parents, watching from the sidelines. Our team are learning so much more than just skating. I am genuinely grateful to be a part of it."
"I love that we feel supported and the club has a family feel to it. The skaters all support each other and nobody has the attitude that they are any better than anyone else. Everyone wants everyone to succeed and do their best"
"Elite is big enough to be impressive but contained enough to feel friendly and supportive. It's been quite the eye-opener to see how all its skaters have made so much progress, proving the quality of coaching they're getting. They're learning life lessons about patience, focus, concentration, application and mutual support. It all feels very valuable"
"Everything about this Club is simply fabulous! The attention to detail, patience and skill level of all of our Coaches. The dedication, discipline and determination of our skaters. And last but certainly not least… The wonderful Parent Squad. So much has been achieved in 5 years. Can only imagine where the next 5 years will take us. Go Team Elite"
