It's the second straight year Team Solano has qualified for nationals. Last year they were ranked tenth in the country. They come every week, ready to work, focus on what we have to do and get the job done. Yet, with all their success, there is still room for improvement for Team Solano. Namely, when it comes to on-ice practice.
Ice time is extremely expensive and it's hard to purchase more time.
The same thing takes place on Wednesday nights, but at a higher cost. And those costs are just the start. On top of ice time, Team Solano must pay for costumes, skates and all their travel to and from competitions. Fund-raising has become as much a part of the skaters' lives as skating itself. Synchronized skating consists of 20 skaters on the ice at one time, performing precision movements all in unison.
