EXCEL

The purpose of Excel is to offer singles athletes an exciting and competitive environment that motivates them to focus on strengthening their program components and advancing their technical skills each season. This program also serves as an opportunity for grassroots skaters and coaches to familiarize themselves with the fundamentals of the International Judging System (IJS) through a phased approach, which allows them to become proficient and confident with the IJS.
