Onyx-Suburban Skating Academy

The Onyx-Suburban Skating Academy was established in the fall of 1999 and was granted full membership status with U.S. Figure Skating in the spring of 2002. The club offers a coaching staff for all levels of skaters from beginner to competitive in singles, pairs, and dance. Our program runs all year round at the beautiful Onyx Ice Arena in Rochester, Michigan and Suburban Ice-Macomb in Macomb, Michigan. We are very proud to be the home club for world-renowned skating coach Mr. Richard Callaghan, as well as the Phoenix Synchronized Skating program. Our mission is to cultivate a safe and supportive environment that provides for the advancement of our members in all disciplines and levels of figure skating.

Competitive Club

The ice schedule includes classes for all levels of skaters, as well as a wide variety of off-ice conditioning classes

Competitive club ice is available six days a week for the fall/winter and spring sessions. Our ice schedule offers early morning sessions three days a week and afternoon sessions Monday through Friday. We offer Saturday morning sessions, as well. Off-ice programs are offered for the skater who wishes to participate in a well-rounded training program. In addition to the ice time available at the Onyx, our figure skating club has the luxury of skating out of the Suburban Ice-Macomb facility as well. They too offer a wide variety of ice time and several off-ice classes.
