The callers who have been active for ten or more years and are still in demand are the ones who program each of their dances so that they give something for the "hot shot" dancer; something for the "newcomer" to square dancing; and a heck of lot for the people in between who outnumber the others maybe ten to one. The dances for the in-betweens will "be a good mixture of old and traditional dances and enough of the neweir ones to keep the floor on its toes. And one thing they never are guilty of: they never deliberately try to "throw the floor". Any idiot can do that; it takes a real good caller to sense the limitations of the group and arrange or re-arrange his material accordingly.

  • STAR 1-5 Skater's Training Tool
    STAR 1-5 Skater’s Training Tool The purpose of this training tool is to help skaters and coaches plan a successful season of skating. By planning the season, a skater can account for events, ice shows, assessments and other major landmarks throughout the season which can definitely impact a skater’s training schedule, as well as goals set for certain times of the season. How to use this tool effectively: First, review the goal setting guidelines. The worksheets that follow may be helpful to set goals for the season. Having the big picture in mind is necessary when setting monthly, weekly and daily goals. If you know where you want to be by the end of the season, it’s much easier to have a plan for each training session, each week, as well as each month. Also included in this guide is a checklist that includes all the elements found on the STAR 1-5 assessments. These can be used as daily tracking sheets to monitor training sessions and keep track of the path towards each skater’s goals. If, by the end of the set time frame, a skater has not achieved a set goal, looking back on the number of times it was practiced as well as any challenges that came up will help to shape the goals moving forward to the next month and show training areas that might need to be modified. All the worksheets are here for everyone to use, but don’t feel it necessary to use them all. Use what works best, and if goals are not being achieved, consider trying some of the other resources.
