Posted by unseenskaters on February 6, 2011

NOTE: The 2011-12 U.S. team envelopes A-C officially were published online on June 2, 2011:

Click here to view the 2011-12 Team Envelopes A-C.

PROJECTED TEAM ENVELOPES FOR 2011-12 (through 2011 Worlds)

Below is an UNOFFICIAL list-in-progress that will be updated periodically in the weeks and months ahead. An official, finalized version should be published online by U.S. Figure Skating at some point. The team envelopes are designated specifically for funding purposes and do not determine the types or number of international assignments a skater or team might receive.

To be published online separately by U.S. Figure Skating sometime in the Spring of 2011 will be the International Selection Pool (ISP). It will include all Team A, B and C age-eligible athletes and any other athletes being considered for an international competition in the 2011-12 season.

Click here to view the 2011-12 International Selection Pool (ISP).

The U.S. Figure Skating Athlete Support (ASUPP) Fund financially supports the U.S. Team envelope A, B and C athletes by assisting them with their skating expenses. Members are selected by the International Committee Management Subcommittee and will be notified of their nomination. (Team envelopes are determined based on specific criteria at the beginning of each new season.)
