 Pan
Am Plaza is home to the Indiana/World Skating Academy in
(I/WSA) downtown Indianapolis Indiana. The Plaza
features two ice skating rinks, one of which is Olympic size. These rinks, in conjunction with a research center, have made
Indianapolis Indiana an outstanding training site for ambitious
figure skaters, speed skaters and aspiring hockey players.
They also provide a great opportunity for public skating. For a schedule of times
available and prices, visit
this site.
 Public
skating is a great way to have fun, get exercise, socialize
with friends, and meet new friends! The dual-rink
facility is open all year. There are lockers,
concessions, and skate rentals to make your experience a
great one. Information can be found
here regarding
up-to-date pricing and scheduling.
In addition to public skating, the I/WSA also provides an
outstanding venue for a memorable birthday or
private party. One common party activity promoted at
the I/WSA is broomball. It is a fun version of hockey that uses a broom and ball
instead of a stick and puck, and you wear your shoes instead
of skates. You can even use half the rink for your
skating party, and the other half for broomball to give
everyone a choice of which to do--or both!
Ever dream of being the next great American figure skater? I/WSA has you covered. There are open figure skating
sessions that are separated by skill level. And if you
don't know where to begin, don't worry. Clinics,
training, and seminars are available from the
talented
coaching staff.
The Indiana/World Skating
Academy offers training for the physical and educational
needs for those who wish to elevate their ability to excel
at figure and dance skating. The academy is home to national
and world-class coaches. They specialize in many
different aspects such as choreography, drama, ballet, jazz,
aerobics, jumping,
and weight training.
For those interested in
a little more speed the Plaza offers speed skating practice
