TRYOUTS FOR SYNCHRONIZED SKATING TEAMS

In an effort to improve the synchronized skating program and encourage more participation, we are making some changes to the program for next year. These changes include:
  • Shorter Season
  • More involvement of coaching staff to bring their strengths to the team -- guest coaches on a monthly basis
  • Formation of a Competitive Team (national-eligible)
  • Higher Standards
  • Continued fundraising to defray costs
Tryouts for Synchronized Skating Teams will be held on Tuesdays, June 15, 2010 & June 22, 2010.

USFS dictates the requirements for synchronized skating including age (as of July 1, 2010) and Moves In The Field requirements for the different teams. MIF tests must be passed by late Fall 2010 to be eligible to compete.

This year we would like to have a developmental team and a national eligible team(s) (Novice and/or Juvenile). The requirements for these teams is as follows:
  • Developmental -- 18 and under, Pre-preliminary MIF or higher, depending on level. *
  • Juvenile -- Age 12 and under with at least Preliminary MIF and preferably PreJuvenile MIF.
  • Novice -- Age 17 and under with Juvenile MIF and preferably Intermediate MIF.
To have a successful competitive season, we need a full team of qualified skaters. Please consider trying out for a team this year. It is a lot of fun and a great way to work towards a goal with your friends.

Tuesday, June 15, 2010 & June 22, 2010 (times below are for each date)
Two dates are provided to account for vacations. It is preferred skaters come to both sessions. If a skater is not available for either date, individual assessments can be arranged. Skaters may come to more than one tryout time if they are eligible.

5:00 - 5:45 pm:  Developmental Team Tryouts
5:45 - 6:30 pm:  Juvenile Team Tryouts
6:30 - 7:15 pm:  Novice Team Tryouts

There will be a parent informational meeting on June 22, 2010 at 7:30 pm. If you have any questions prior to this time, please contact Pam Kurtz at 970-396-1335, pkurtz2006@hotmail.com or Dana 970-481-3347, dana@theparlour.net or Denaysa sisemoredk@q.com.

If you know you will be attending tryouts, please send an email to Pam.

*There will also be a team for introductory synchro students run through the Learn-to-Skate program.

Congratulations to all of our National Showcase Competitors who made an outstanding showing on August 13-15 at the World Arena in Colorado Springs. We would like to give a special recognition to Joe Johnson who was 3rd in the Parade of Champions!!! The Parade of Champions participants include all of the skaters from every level who finished 1st in their respective final round competitions, from both light and dramatic artistic events, and compete one final time against each other. Joe placed third among a very elite group of skaters which is a terrific accomplishment! Our theatrical production ensembles also performed exceptionally well, with "Pirates of the Caribbean" placing 1st, and "Over the Rooftops" placing 3rd in their round!!  Way to go!!




Congratulations Skaters who competed at 
The Broadmoor Open June 21-27! Great Job!!
