Long Range Event Schedules & Special Information

Michigan Basic Skills Series

Introduced in 2007, and returning with vigor in 2008 the Michigan Basic Skills series offers many opportunities for Basic Skills level skaters to compete in a series of competitions with consistent rules, a friendly atmosphere, and the opportunity to earn points towards season awards. Note that the Series Mission Statement was updated on Jan 21 to eliminate the requirement that skaters must compete in all 16 competitions in order to be eligible for season awards.  Under the new language, there is no minimum number of competitions.  The new language is included in the "About the Series" document, and in all competition Announcements EXCEPT Lansing and Onyx-Suburban which were released prior to the change.

Note that the Big Rapids competition, formerly scheduled for Aug 2, has been CANCELLED, due to planned ice rink renovations.
