Youth and Junior Skating in the US

[G-One]

Skating programs like Learn to Skate USA and regional youth competitions help children develop skills early. Did you know that many Olympic skaters started competing as young as six years old? Are there any junior skaters you’re keeping an eye on as future stars?

Skating is damn hard and favors the young. It takes a long time to master the sport. It takes a lot of pain and flexibility. Also, money. It's very hard to get the time you need to be good when you're older and worrying about earning money to live.

I admire skaters a lot, the enormous discipline they must have to do this sport is completely crazy
