For the 2026–2027 season, we will have a competitive team at the Aspire 4 level. The Aspire 4 level allows us to do interesting elements with some difficulty and variety. Skaters who are interested in joining this team must meet the following requirements:

• All skaters must be under age 17 as of the preceding July 1st.
• Skaters may pass tests as high as Pre-Bronze and there is no minimum requirement.
• Pre-Juvenile is a team of 5 to 20 skaters.
• A Pre-Juv program is a maximum of 2 minutes 10 seconds long.

This team is intended for those skaters wishing to be more serious about synchronized skating. A good positive attitude is required. You must be able to pay attention, be willing to work and not complain. This team is a step up from the Aspire 3 Synchro level team and will require more work than that team.

Practice

Requirements

All team skaters are expected to continually advance their individual skating skills. Team skaters must skate a minimum additional 1 hour per week plus take an Edge or Power class OR skate an additional 1.5 hours a week. Synchro camp is included as part of the summer monthly fee.

Skaters try out for this team through team placement in April and May. If it is after that time and a skater did not participate in team placement and is interested in this team, they should contact Vikki. You may still be able to join us. See the Synchro Team Placements page for details.
