Housing Information

The 2026 Eastern Synchronized Skating Sectional Championships will be using a "request and place" process for team hotel bookings. This means each team or organization will complete a form with information about your housing needs, such as number and type of rooms, as well as a ranking of your preferred hotels. We will then use your information to place you at one of our contracted hotels with our preferred rates.

The Skating Club of Boston will be managing all housing directly through the LOC. The primary contact for housing at this event will be Dede Wilson at dede.wilson@scboston.org. Do not contact any hotels directly. Housing blocks have been reserved with special rates for each competition and hotels have been instructed not to accept bookings from anyone other than the LOC contact. There will be a $1,000 penalty, per team, for any team that does not follow this housing selection process.

A detailed housing process and policy will be shared with all teams in the fall. 

Practice Ice 

Practice ice information will be available after the registration deadline.
