Audition FAQs

I’m confused on which group my skater should attend. What should I do?2025-01-20T19:22:23+00:00

Please email Coach Lana at lana.ullemeyer@clevelandicestorm.com. She will be able to help you figure out which group to attend. New skaters who do not have any moves in the field tests passed should be attending the Group 1 clinics and tryouts.

Can I watch the tryouts?2025-01-20T19:23:05+00:00

Tryouts are closed to all spectators to allow skaters to fully concentrate and perform at their best without the distraction of an audience. Parents/guardians are welcome to stay in the lobby or concession stand area. Clinics are open to watch from the bleachers.
