2010 - 2011 competition information coming
soon.
When you choose
to enroll your family in the Lake Region
Figure Skating Club, we offer you the U.S. Figure Skating program of
Basic Skills, which is taught during family skating time. The
curriculum in this program will teach any age person how
to use skates to accomplish basic fundamentals of
skating.
When a skater reaches the upper levels of this
program they often want more from this enjoyable
sport.
When you choose to enter this competitive
phase of skating, the amount of time and money you invest
increases, but the rewards can be great. Additional costs
include private lessons and entry fees in competitions, as
well as more time spent on the ice and traveling.
Our skaters, if they choose to do so,
have a chance to compete and test their skills against skaters
with similar skill levels from around the state and region.
Skaters begin the path to competition by taking private
lessons. These lessons prepare the skaters for competitons and
testing.
The United States Figure Skating
Association is the governing body for figure skating on
ice in the United States. It is responsible for making
and enforcing rules for the sport, holding competitions and
official tests (NOT basic skills testing). The Lake Region Skating
Club is a member club in U.S. Figure Skating and is listed in
the rulebook.
Competition is open to skaters in the
United States and Canada and includes the popular Maneuver
Team event. This event is usually the first type of
competitive event a skater tries because it allows the skater
to be a part of a team of four where each skater performs one
move. This is an excellent way to test the waters of
competition.
Lake Region Skating Club also
participates in Basic Skills Competitons which is also a great
way to introduce young skaters to competition. Skaters as
young as Snow Plow Sam level can participate in a Basic Skills
competition.
You will have many questions as you enter
this phase of skating. The best way to stay informed is
to ask parents and skaters who have experience in this
field.
For further information throughout the
year, check the newsletter for upcoming meetings, events and
forms. If you have any questions or concerns, contact
the skating coach or any board member.
