Skaneateles Figure Skating Club: SFSC Newsletter

PRESIDENT’S CORNER
Spring has been a busy time at the Skaneateles Figure Skating Club. We held a Test Session on April 27^th and numerous skaters from the area came to test their Dance, Freeskate and Moves in the Field tests. We had three skaters pass Senior level tests, earning Gold medals! We also held our second annual Basic Skills Competition. Skaters from all over joined us for a great day of competition. We thank Meghan Cattadoris for all her hard work organizing this fun-filled day.      

The ice will be down for maintenance for three weeks following the June test session on June 2, 2013.  We will begin Summer Ice on June 25th. We have packages to meet everyone’s needs, so please…Keep Skating!! Look below for more information on Summer skating at SFSC.

TEST SESSION
SFSC will host a US Figure Skating test session on Sunday, June 2, 2013. The test application has passed but if you are still interested in testing, please speak to your coach and our Test Chair, Kathy Murray.  Look for the test schedule  online soon, and good luck to all skaters testing!
