Compulsory Teams

Skaters in Gamma, Delta, and above are invited to try out for compulsory teams. Skater may skate above, but not below their own freestyle test level. Teams consist of six skaters (levels FS1-FS5) or seven skaters (FS6-FS10) performing a lively and entertaining routine in which each skater performs one required test level maneuver. Music with entertaining themes, great costumes and hand-held props are featured in this event. Skaters can compete on more than one team as long as those two teams are in different freestyle levels. Depending on the number of try-out skaters and the levels they are capable of skating, coaches may not be able to place all skaters on a team. It is the goal, however, to include all try-out skaters.
These groups will perform in the ice show and in the NUFSC competition and possibly in another regional competition. There may be costume and prop expenses.
