Starr Andrew to Headline ISI Benefit Show!

ISI World Recreational Team Championships, originally scheduled in 2020, will take place July 28-31 at the same venue — the  NSC Super Rink in Blaine, Minn. Test and entry deadline is May 14.

The four-day event promises to deliver worlds of fun for skaters of all ages — from tots to senior adults — and abilities.

“ISI Worlds is open to all skaters who are interested in competing in a fun and friendly environment,” says ISI Skating Programs & National Events Director Kim Hansen. “Competitors typically hail from all parts of the United States and several foreign countries, and they have the opportunity to compete in 25 event categories for individuals, partners, groups and teams.”

The more points a skater accumulates for their team the greater chance they all have of earning medals and capturing first place. The team with the most collective points goes home with the Michael Booker Trophy, named for the British figure skating champion, former ISI president and famed coach.

Highlights of ISI Worlds:

• Competitors’ Party, at a fun venue, for skaters and their families.
