Open Collegiate

  • The team rosters 8-20 student-athletes with any synchronized and figure skating experience and outstanding academic credentials. There are no test requirements; however, it is strongly suggested to have Pre-Bronze/Bronze Skating Skills (née Pre-Juvenile/Juvenile MIF) test passed to skate on the team.

  • The Open Collegiate team has quickly risen to the top of its division, consistently medaling at the Midwestern Sectional Championships making this team a force to be reckoned with. Practices continue through the Midwestern Sectional Championships (pending competition schedules).

  • Practice
    Monday 6:00am - 7:50am
    Friday 6:10am - 7:30am (every other week)

    Additionally, skaters are expected to complete at least 2-3 workouts a week delivered via an online platform called Volt and to skate two freestyle sessions a month. Certain freestyle sessions will be held and covered by dues.

    Freestyle Sessions
    Thursday 7:30-8:20am

    We try to have practice end in time for any 8am classes. Additionally, car pools are provided for team members to and from practice.
