In a world where convenience rarely equals quality, especially in sports, Victoria Sports Academy (VSA) offers a fresh approach to making athletic training accessible and achievable. Victoria Drazdova, an entrepreneur with a background as an elite figure skating coach, combines her passion for sports and technology to create a platform that connects trainers, students, athletes, and enthusiasts worldwide.
Victoria has over a decade of experience coaching figure skating in Russia and Belarus. Drawing from her understanding of the challenges faced by athletes and their families, she launched VSA in 2022, a Los Angeles-based platform designed to connect users with coaching services in a flexible and accessible way.
VSA is a figure skating club and athletic training platform that offers various programs for figure skaters, hockey players, and fitness freaks. The platform provides services regardless of geographic location; thus, students from various countries have participated in online classes with experienced trainers through VSA. Thousands of sessions have been completed, covering a range of disciplines such as ice dancing, hockey skills, and yoga. The platform connects users with instructors to suit their needs, providing flexibility and accessibility.
To any parent with little time to spare, VSA is, therefore, the suitable option. Picture this: Imagine your child learning from a skilled figure skating instructor from the comfort of home while you go about your day. VSA offers an app where users can browse coaches, schedule sessions, and participate in live training. This setup helps make training more accessible by eliminating the need for travel.
Victoria continues introducing new programs on the platform to increase its coverage for young athletes. It blends structured training with a reasonable price, making it evident that you do not always have to overcharge to be extraordinary. To put it more straightforwardly, parents would be happy knowing that whatever they put in will benefit their child’s skills and self-improvement.
VSA also provides enhanced, specialized programs for elevated athletes. Skaters can schedule appointments for choreography or conditioning and specialty workout sessions through the app and consult with trainers about when they should ice skate and when they can use other types of exercise. Hockey players can avail themselves of widely available off-ice options, with all sessions tailored to their goals and methods. They also have access to video analysis. For fitness freaks, there are options for exercising, flexibility training, regular workouts, and even gym sessions.
Victoria’s vision as the founder of VSA is not just about sports. She views it as an opportunity to teach discipline, confidence, and tenacity in the athlete regardless of their backgrounds. Using the social media handles @vsafigureskating, @vsastretch, @vsaworld, and @vsaicehockey, the academy communicates with families worldwide and shares the success stories of students who succeed under its umbrella.
Victoria Sports Academy offers a new approach to sports training. For parents seeking accessible and quality-focused options, VSA provides a platform designed to meet diverse needs. Victoria continues to refine VSA, aiming to expand its reach and make training available globally in multiple languages.
