General info:
Junior Elite Training 2024 is designed for skaters who are currently training on a synchro team at the Pre-Juvenile, Juvenile, Intermediate or Novice level. In-person sessions will be held at the New England Sports Center in Marlborough, MA, June 21 - 23, 2024. Skaters will be organized by age and experience into smaller groups with no more than 30 skaters on ice at a time. During the 10 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 sessions. While the main focus is on improving individual skills we will have a “Synchro Element'' on ice session as well.
Our on ice coaching staff includes Olympic pairs bronze medalist, Simon Shnapir, Ice Cold Combos choreographer, Adam Blake, as well as Haydenettes Head Coach, Saga Krantz, Lexettes Head Coach, Lee Chandler and Haydenettes skaters. This year we will again offer an off-ice session with Olympic Dance/Movement Choreographer Randi Strong who is best known for being a Top 5 Female Dancer on Season 5 of the FOX Hit TV Show “So You Think You Can Dance”.
