PROGRAM OVERVIEW
|
The Team Chiller Synchronized Skating Program is expecting to field four teams for the 2008-09 season. Please note that different team configurations could affect practice times and length.
Possible Team Configurations
ISI Jr. Youth Team — majority of skaters ages 8 & under
ISI Youth Team — majority of skater ages 9-11
ISI Sr. Youth Team — majority of skaters ages 12-14
ISI Teen Team — majority of skater ages 14-19
USFS Open Juvenile — A team of 8-12 skaters. The majority of the team must be under 19. All skaters must have passed the pre-preliminary moves in the field test.
**All ages are as of July 1, 2008**
The placement process will include a skater evaluation period for new and returning synchro candidates. This will allow new skaters to experience some aspects of Team Chiller’s training activities, while also providing the coaches and evaluators with an assessment of each skater’s abilities. After all of the placement clinics are completed, the coaches and evaluators will determine the most effective and competitive mix of synchro teams to be skated for the 2008-2009 season.
Team classification will depend upon the majority age of the skaters on the team. Teams may compete in both Ice Skating Institute (ISI) and United States Figure Skating (USFS) competitions at the coaches’ discretion. Because the focus of our program is participation, the minimum requirement to be placed on a team is having passed ISI Alpha or USFS Basic 4. Higher standards are expected for upper level teams, with a strong emphasis on USFS Moves in the Field and Dance. Skaters may be placed on teams on a probationary basis with the expectation the certain test requirements are obtained prior to the competition season.
