Tryout & Workshop Schedule

During WORKSHOPS, skaters are exposed to the tryout program / footwork. During these workshops our coaches and current or former Blades team members will often work with you on a 1-on-1 basis to ensure your success. During TRYOUTS, skaters will skate for the coaches which will help to determine your team placement.
