About Michigan High School Figure Skating Series

High School Figure Skaters in Michigan compete in 5 Districts, each composed of 6-12 teams. Each school may field any or all of "A", "B", and "C" level teams, which compete separately. The "A" teams have the most difficult elements, "C" teams have the least difficult. Teams participate in 3 initial-round competitions within their own District, then the victors from each district meet in a final State Championship Competition in March.

The initial-round competitions in each district are Team Compulsory competitions. At these competitions, there are 3 events at each level - a Jumps event, a Spins event, and a Moves event. Each event has 4 "elements" - elements are performed by a single skater from each team, in team rotation. Each competition lasts about 4 hours, and teams compete against other teams within their own district to earn a position in the State Championship competition. An "Invitational Competition" is also offered each year which is optional and is in the same format but is open to teams from any District. No points are earned toward State Championships.

The 2-day State Championship offers a final Team event in the same format as described above. It also offers a large variety of "Individual" events such as freeskating, dance, and showcase which allow skaters to earn State Individual medals.

Team Deadline Approaches

Our team meeting at Papa E'Z pizza went very well, we had a total of 7 skaters with their parents.
It was nice to see new as well as returning skaters and I hear we may be getting a few more to the roster. However, as all are welcomed, there is a entry deadline of October 31st 2008. The team rosters and competition fees have to be submitted to the Michigan High School committee for us to qualify to compete this season. Any questions email roseredman1@yahoo.com.
