We call our developmental program Shooting Stars, and it’s designed for 7 to 12-year-old skaters of any gender who want to learn the foundations of synchronized skating in a fun and relaxed environment. Skaters in the Learn to Skate Program (Basic 1-6, Pre-Free Skate, and Free Skate 1-6) as well as skaters who have passed their first moves in the field tests (up through pre-juvenile moves) will be placed on our Shooting Stars teams.

Mini Shooting Stars and Shooting Stars PreliminarySkaters age 10 and younger who are in the Pre-Free Skate or the Free Skate Badge program are usually placed on either our Mini Shooting Stars synchro skills team or our Shooting Stars preliminary team. Skaters placed here will want to continue to work through Lean to Skate badges and the first U.S. Figure Skating (USFS) tests in moves in the field, dance, and free skating. Learn more about USFS tests here and ask your coach how to get started! Lean more about Mini Shooting Stars here. Lean more about Shooting Stars preliminary here. |
