ProGuide
Requirements for Cadets & MAs
Start Here
Our ProGuides are prepared by our club's roller sports professionals—coaches, apprentices, and consultants—and all ProGuides public resources—meaning, they can be accessed and shared by anyone. This ProGuide is no exception, of course, and its content is especially crucial for anyone in our Classes program and/or Athletics program.
Please read this ProGuide in its entirety before committing as a Cadet/MA.
Content
In this ProGuide, we'll cover the Audiences to whom this ProGuide applies, introduce and detail both types of requirements—Training Requirements and Onboarding Requirements—and finally, we'll regroup and confirm all requirements that apply specifically to Cadets and Membre-Athlètes (MAs).

Audiences
This ProGuide covers all requirements associated with Cadets (C3-Level Students) and Membre-Athlètes (MA-1, MA-2, MA-3). However, this ProGuide is equally referenced by more than just those to whom the requirements apply. Use the following expandable subsections to learn more:

Types
In this ProGuide, you will learn about both types of requirements: Training and Onboarding.
1 • Training Requirements
A career in Roller Sports requires commitment, effort, and an open mind because your success depends on your ability to adapt to cumulative, collaborative, and ongoing learning. Therefore, the first type of requirements for both Cadets and MAs are Training Requirements or elements (aka skills) that each student and each MA must learn, train, and be ready to demonstrate at any time. For parents with younger Cadets/MAs, reference Gallery 2 below to help your child excel at their level.
2 • Onboarding Requirements
The second type of requirements is our club's Onboarding Requirements, which keep the C3 and MA "current" or in compliance with our national federation's requirements (USA Roller Sports) and those of our sport/club. We'll detail all Onboarding Requirements below for both Cadets and MAs.
Without further ado, let's dive in—starting with Training Requirements:
Gallery 2 • Training Requirements
Cadets
C3-Level Students
Cadets need tools to learn and demonstrate all Training Requirements (16 elements at the C3 level). The tools each Cadet needs are identified in our Cadet Onboarding Requirements (4). For this reason, the sooner a Cadet can tackle their Onboarding Requirements, the sooner the Cadet can meet all requirements.

Athletes
All Membre-Athlètes (MAs)
These requirements apply equally to all MAs.
As an overview, your yearly requirements (USARS) range between $50-$90 per MA. When you consider your monthly requirements—MA Membership and MA Instructional Plans—your monthly costs will range from $200 to $300, unless you choose the "0x Weekly" Plan, which is our least recommended, because MAs need regular instruction (group lessons) to learn, test, and demonstrate their training requirements and overall goals.

You can learn more about all MA Training Requirements (Circle Figures and Free Skating) by clicking to expand/download each image in Gallery 4. Then, continue on to each MA Onboarding Requirement in the expandable subsections below.

Daily • Training
MAs are required to arrive on time and practice autonomously when not in group lessons or private lessons (see MA Plans). Each MA level comes with its own unique set of Training Requirements, which are unique to our club and based on norms that allow the MA to train, test, and even compete with confidence.
Parents
For parents/guardians who are not actively on the floor with us, you can sometimes be out of the loop and frankly, these Training Requirements are most likely Greek to you. As we build good practice habits with the MA-1, you'll find you can leave your child who is progressively more familiar with autonomy among other athletes while training. Until then, you are required to remain in the facility to observe and guide your child.
For anyone with younger athletes, it is crucial that you guide your athlete through the process of arriving, warming up with the group, practicing all Training Requirements and communicating any questions or concerns to our head coach (Brian). Be sure to "Like" this ProGuide, so you'll stay in the know of any updates that apply.
