Aspire Levels 1 - 4 are the beginning levels of synchronized skating offered at nonqualifying and Compete USA competitions. Aspire Synchro team consists of 5-20 skaters and must be 13 years and younger (Aspire 1), 16 years or younger (Aspire 2), or 17 years and younger (Aspire 3 and Aspire 4). No skaters may have passed higher than pre-bronze, depending on the level. We strongly encourage our Aspire 2-4 skaters to practice and test their pre preliminary and preliminary USFS skating skills tests to progress through the team levels.We accept skaters who are Basic 3 and above. Skaters are placed on a team of skaters with skills and ages similar to their own in most cases.
