The Jump Harness Project
Help us bring a state-of-the-art figure skating jump harness system to the Aylmer Skating Centre — giving our athletes a safer way to build the skills that take them to the next level.
The Aylmer Skating Centre is proud to launch a community fundraising campaign to install a state-of-the-art figure skating jump harness system at our arena. This specialized overhead training system will provide skaters with a safer, more effective environment to develop and refine advanced jumping skills. By supporting the skater through a secure overhead cable system, the harness allows athletes to work on jump technique, rotation, air position, and landings with added confidence and reduced risk.
Your contribution is an investment in the safety, development, confidence, and competitive future of our local athletes.
Learning advanced jumps involves repetition, risk, and occasional falls. A jump harness provides an additional layer of support, helping reduce the impact of falls while allowing athletes to safely explore new and more difficult skills.
The harness gives skaters and coaches a valuable training tool for developing advanced jumps. Athletes can focus on body position, rotation, timing, and landing technique while receiving controlled support as they progress.
Fear of falling can be a significant challenge when learning new elements. The jump harness provides a greater sense of security, allowing skaters to approach difficult skills with increased confidence and focus.
Installing this equipment will enhance the training opportunities available at the Aylmer Skating Centre. It has the potential to support local athletes, attract experienced coaches and competitive skaters, and create opportunities for specialized training sessions and clinics.
Every dollar raised will directly support the Jump Harness Project, including:
Whether you are a skating family, local business, former athlete, or community member who believes in supporting youth and sport, your contribution will make a lasting difference. Together, we can create a safer, stronger, and more competitive training environment for the next generation of skaters.
Help us elevate our athletes — one jump at a time.
