COMPETE

Here at the Skating Club of CNY, most of our skaters choose to compete at either local or out of town competitions throughout the season. Skaters can start competing as early as the Snowplow Sam level. Our club competes in both Singles and Synchronized Skating. Whether your skater wants to compete recreationally or more seriously, U.S.Figure Skating has a track for everyone. For those skaters who wish to compete recreationally, we recommend attending some or all of our local competitions that are held in Cicero, Skaneateles, New Hartford, Oswego, and Watertown. These skaters would be competing in Compete USA, Aspire, and Excel tracks.

EXCEL

Skaters from Aspire through Senior level, that would like to be a little more serious, may choose to participate in the Excel Series. These skaters should register for the series prior to the first Excel competition of the season. Skaters must participate in a minimum of two series qualifying, competitions during the season. New York is located in the Eastern Region and there are many series competitions being held all over the Eastern seaboard for skaters and their coaches to choose from. The Excel Series culminates in the National Festival that takes place in July.

QUALIFYING

For those skaters desiring to compete at U.S. Championship events, and International events, including the World Championships and the Olympics, you should be competing on the qualifying track. Skaters and their parents should seek out coaches who are actively coaching skaters at this level. This track is for the most serious of skaters who are looking to dedicate vast amounts of their time to the sport of figure skating.
