But thereâ€" are really no superlatives available to describe the seemingly effortless grace displayed by the members of the Oakville Precision Figure Skating Team â€" they just have to be seen. As for the work â€" which includes one weekly fourâ€"hour session as well as five workouts on her own time â€" she likes the challenge. "It‘s not easy to do." The team trains four levels of skaters â€" juvenile, aged 12 and under; novice, aged 15 and under; By GORD KOLLE Special to the Beaver * they glide gracefully over the _ ice, occasionally darting _ around i unacmary obstacles like a school of minnows or a flight of swallows. Each team member gets up to five hours practice a week. The typical training day involves an hour of offâ€" ice stretching and calisthenics to _ warm up muscles, followed by a few hours ice work to fine tune various parts of the program the team will perform. When melded as a team the skaters have to rely on each other to perform the program. So a selfless work ethic is promoted â€" there is no room for prima donnas or supersensiâ€" tive egos. "If a skater has a problem with this, we usually take them aside and point out the trouble," says head coach Brenda Bradica. During September‘s tryouts, the coaches set up a pattern of basic skills that they want the skaters to become proficient in. senior, aged 12 to 24; and adult aged 12 to 32. The goal is to win the Canadian Challenge. SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 13, 1994 Page 20 The Oakville precision skati club is hosting its annual open \$ house at Oakville Arena on Thursday, February 24. All four teams will run throwg their routines beginning at 7 and the evening will conclude w’ a reception in the Kinsmen Pine Room. j "It‘s expensive but it‘s worth it," says executive board member Kmf Warren, who has a daughter on the" team. ~ "The sport stresses competitiveâ€" ness, responsibility and discipline. 1 think it rounds them out and makes them better people." 4 Operating the team is not cheap. Costs run from $125,000 to $150,00 a year. And it‘s funded solely throug J contributions. Most of the money « comes from parents, raffles, draws and corporate sponsors. n 1 "It‘s good discipline. You learn to work with a team and you‘re always practicing." 4 Assistant coach Heather Rapson > enjoys her double role with the team Besides coaching some of the 4 younger skaters, Rapson skates on th team herself. § "I like the fact I can stay competi= tive skating and at the same time _ . improve my coaching skills." 4 The enthusiasm generated by the skaters carries off ice too. Winning* through team effort has always appealed to 19â€"yearâ€"old Lisa Jamieson. Jamieson,19, who has bee skating with the team for eight years: She says skating skills and a posiâ€" tive attitude are the benchmarks used to select team members. "They can have all the talent in the world but if their attitude is negaâ€" tive we can‘t use them." The coaches put each skater through an individual program which mimics the working facets of the _,~ team program. : Rules allow the use of up to six alternates per team. The role of alterâ€" nates is important because they fill in when regular team members are sick. It‘s tough to relegate skaters to the ~ backâ€"up role but every understudy will always have the chance to make the regular team, says Bradica. _ Open house on Feb. 24 Bradica,38, has been coaching figâ€" ure skating for 18 years. She‘s a pleasant, friendly person but a persisâ€" tent and demanding taskmaster when it comes to coaching. 1994 McDonald‘s Restaurants of Canada Limited
