ISI World Recreational Team Championships is returning to the beautiful Boston area, where summer will be in full swing — can you smell the fresh “lobstah” rolls? But enough about fish and seafood,  let’s focus on our largest recreational competition of the year!

ISI Worlds gets underway Aug. 3 through Aug. 6 at Nashoba Valley Olympia in Boxborough, a quaint suburb filled with charming, historic houses — approximately 30 miles or about an hour’s drive from Massachusetts’ capital city of Boston (aka “Beantown!”)

This amazing facility has three sheets of ice (one with seating for 650 spectators); a snack bar, featuring nutritious snacks, sandwiches and drinks; a pro shop, dance room for off-ice training; and skate sharpening services.

Often drawing competitors from across the United States and a few foreign countries, ISI Worlds is our most popular national event and offers competitors of all skill levels and ages, from tots to seniors, an opportunity to perform and compete in the sport that they adore. Competitors can choose from more than 25 different event categories for individuals, partners, groups and teams.

The energy leading up to and at a Worlds event is invigorating! Every skater should experience it as least once in their lifetime. Warning: Once you do, you’ll be hooked. Many Worlds competitors return many times over to enjoy the excitement, fun and camaraderie found at this special competition. Read more at Recreational Ice Skating online
