General info about the 2025 Hayden Select Skills Clinic
Hayden Select Skills Clinic is designed for skaters who are currently training on a synchro team at Pre-Juvenile or above. In-person sessions will be held at The Edge Sports Centre in Bedford, MA from July 11-13, 2025. Skaters will be organized by age and experience into smaller groups with no more than 30 skaters on ice at a time. During the 12+ hours of on-ice time skaters can expect to be working on power and speed, multi directional skating and balance as well as fun classes like Musical Interpretation and Movement and Choreography sessions. While the main focus is on improving individual skills we will also be working on Synchro Elements.
The clinic will be led by Lee Chandler and Taylor Stender, the coaches of Hayden Select. More exciting guest instructors will be introduced closer to the clinic.
