We call our developmental program Shooting Stars, and it’s designed for 7 to 13 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 or recommended for our Shooting Stars Academy.
