House teams at AEU are designed to be an inclusive, accessible, fun entry point for skaters interested in synchronized skating. These teams can be used as a skill-building or social opportunity (or both!) and are a great way for skaters to learn the fundamentals of the discipline in a shorter format, lower-commitment season than AEU's Club or Travel levels. Skaters will get the opportunity to learn a routine and perform in costumes at 2-5 performances, including one local competition.

​

General Ages: 4-16 years

Great For: Introductory, Beginner, and Early Developmental Skaters

HOUSE TEAMS GENERAL INFO: 

• The House Team season generally runs from October thru February of each season.

• House team registration will generally open April 1 annually and run through September 30 before beginning of season in October (skaters are not required to participate in a formal team placement session to register for a House Team, but must have an active US Figure Skating membership either through a Learn-to-Skate program or a Figure Skating Club).

• House teams will perform 2-3 times at Arctic Edge and surrounding area and 1-2 local competitive opportunities in February of each season.

• Registration includes completing all required forms/waivers for skater participation and a one-time, non-refundable $65 registration fee (which is applied to your skater(s) first season payment in October).

How to join a house level team:

There are multiple ways to gain more information and/or try synchronized skating before joining a House Level Team! See below for multiple options for getting involved.

​

• OPTION 1: Attend an AEU Team Tryout/Placement Session (more information on upcoming available sessions HERE) - Though attending an official team tryout/placement session is not required to register for an AEU House Team, it is a valuable opportunity for new skaters to meet our coaches and try some synchronized skating skills and elements with other skaters in a single-session, collaborative and skill-building environment.

​

• OPTION 2: Arrange a private or small group (1-3 skaters) evaluation with an AEU coach - Like an official team tryout, a coach evaluation is not required to register for an AEU house team, but can offer an in-person, more personal setting for 1-3 skaters/families to receive additional information and guidance on AEU House Teams. To arrange a private/small group evaluation, contact ArcticSynchro@gmail.com.​

​

• OPTION 3: Register your skater directly through the online registration link - As noted above, skaters who wish to simply register without participating or scheduling a team placement are welcome to do so using the standard House Teams registration link HERE.
