FSA Junior Competitor Series
US Figure Skating Freestyle 4 - 5 - 6 & ISI Freestyle 4 - 5
Year-Round
The Junior Competitive class builds the foundation of more advanced figure skating skills. Skaters continue to learn skills in the U.S. Figure Skating freestyle test structure (FS 4 - 6) and ISI Freestyle 4 & 5, in addition to focusing on moves in the field, dance and footwork sequences. Emphasis is on showing good use of edges and a mastery of the basic skills, single jumps and basic spin positions required in the U.S. Figure Skating testing structure. Skaters are divided into groups based on enrollment and FS test level. Skaters will receive a US Figure Skating Basic Skills record book with stickers to track skater's progress.
