I have been fortunate enough to compete at the Nationals several times - and still hold out hopes for a placement some day. Five Star is a viable means to build a skating program. The page shown here was in a recent copy of Roller Skate magazine and has good information. Send to the address on the page here to get more details on how to use this program at your rinks. And if you need the brochure now - here is a scanned version to get you started .
Lets see what happens.
The results can be spectacular to watch, demonstrating a mastery of the artistry. Each year, the top three winners from each of nine regional championships advance to the annual United States National Championships. At Nationals, more than 1,500 skaters compete for USA titles in their respective divisions. The top three placements in each of the World Class Divisions earn the right to represent the United States at the annual World Artistic Championships. For those who may not have seen it, you can find it posted here.
