Informational Parent meeting will be held in May.
For the – 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 on an Aspire 4 team may pass tests as high as Pre-Bronze and there is no minimum requirement.
For this team, skaters need to be 17 or younger as of . Aspire 4 is a team of 5 to 20 skaters. The Aspire 4 program has a maximum length of 2 minutes 10 seconds.
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.
During the summer, the team practices on Wednesday evenings –* and joins the high team for 30 minutes on Thursdays from –. They also have off-ice practice on Thursdays from – –. During the – school year the team will practice on Wednesday afternoons from – and join the high team on the ice Thursday evenings from –. They will also have some off-ice practices and extra practices on Saturday afternoons.
*Due to construction on the North rink, the practice schedule will be different in and early .
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.
