Preliminary is made up of skaters under the age of 13 who have passed Pre-Preliminary Moves, however the majority of our skaters have passed Pre Juvenile Moves. We encourage skaters to develop and practice freestyle, moves and dance tests. Skaters all come from the Rochester and Syracuse areas and we practice once a week, typically for 1.5 hours. Outside of synch, we all practice our individual skills for at least 1 hour/week.

One of MI's competitive youth teams, we are eager to grow and learn synch skills and transitions as well as understanding IJS scoring. We have a team mascot named Murray (he's a squirrel). Our goal is to have fun and learn as we perform our program to a classic piece and hope to entertain the audience and judges.
