Solan Stars Entire Team

About: Solano Stars offers year-round teams for skaters of every age and level. Their youngest participant is 4 years old and their “most experienced at life” skater is 69 years old. Teams practice a minimum of one hour weekly on ice, with additional off-ice practice. They compete in at least four local competitions each year and often times more, plus perform in many exhibition events. They love to travel and make new skating friends wherever they go. One of their proudest accomplishments as a group is winning the overall team trophy at the annual Skate at the Lake competition in Lake Tahoe in both 2014 and 2015.
