The program is periodically approved and reviewed for renewal by the various school districts. This
program honors the commitment and skill of student athlete skaters and enables student skaters to earn
recognition in the form of a varsity letter. Official high school athletic recognition is important to college
applicants. The time demands of figure skating often prevent a student's participation in much of the
regular high school varsity sports programs. Varsity participation is often viewed as a measure of success
by colleges and universities.
