The McLaughlin Elite Skating Academy (MESA) is a unique figure skating training program centered on the tenets of Commitment, Consistency and Community. Three-time National Champion and Head Coach Keauna McLaughlin has a passion for youth sports and inspiring confidence in skaters of all levels. Her professional coaching team is comprised of National and World level coaches with expertise in Freestyle, Pairs, and Ice Dance as well as speciality coaches in Jumps, Moves-In-The-Field and Group. MESA accepts skaters of all levels from beginner to expert and child to adult, with the only requirement being a commitment to the sport and a drive to achieving one’s potential. 

Training at MESA focuses on consistency created through a combination of structured on- and -off ice training in private, semi-private and small group classes. We are not just training athletes, we are cultivating strength of character and teaching life lessons in motivation, commitment, grit and resiliency. Our skaters strive to become their best selves both on and off the ice and we help guide them to achieve their full potential. We teach self-discipline and motivation and impart the importance of a strong work ethic to provide our skaters with important skills that will benefit them in all aspects of their lives, now and in the future. Training together as a team fosters a positive and supportive sense of community that makes MESA unique. Together we learn and together we grow…WE ARE MESA!
