Skaters: Kennedy, JorDen, Kristina, Benjamin
Our Special Olympics Alberta Team attended their first competition of the season in Springbank the weekend of November 20-22, 2015. This competition was part of their Team Alberta training and had the skaters assessed using the STAR program and CPC points system for the first time. This will be the marking system that will be used at Nationals in March, so we were excited to try it out.
All of our skaters had good performances and were given "report cards" that they will use to continue their training and progress on the road to Nationals. Most of our athletes have had to change some of their elements to be the same as their STAR equivalent. This has proved to be a challenge, but also an adventure!
We now have less than 3 months until our National Games in Corner Brook, NFLD. Until then, we'll keep training and working towards our goals for the season!
