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 of 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.
Lake Region Figure Skating Club
also participates in Basic Skills Competitons which is a great
way to introduce young skaters to competition. Skaters as
young as Snow Plow Sam level can participate in a Basic Skills
competition.
Synchronized
skating is also a great way to try out competitive skating in
a team setting. LRFSC currently has two competitve synchro
teams.
You will have many questions as you enter
this phase of skating. The best way to stay informed is
to ask coaches, parents and skaters who have experience in
this field. If you are interested in learning more about
competitive skating we encourage non-competing club members to
attend local synchro and individual competitions
to support our LRFSC skaters. Please visit the Calendar
page for competition
dates.
For further information throughout the
year please check the newsletter and LRFSC
Board at the rink for upcoming meetings, events and
forms. If you have any questions or concerns, contact the skating coach or any board
member
