Congratulations & Good Luck

​​Congratulations to all SDFSC skaters who participated in the USFS Virtual Celebration of Competitive Skating in February.  A virtual event where videos were submitted for Juvenile/Intermediate Free Skate or Free Dance.  A special congratulations to the skaters who qualified for the National High Performance Development Team:

  • Olivia Mendoza/ Aiden Elswick 2nd out of 9 in Juvenile-Intermediate Pairs.
  • Luana Stein, associate member 2nd out of 162 skaters in Intermediate Ladies 11-13-year-olds. 

The first in-person competition will be the Fiesta Skate 2021 held in Peoria, AZ to be held April 15th-18th, 2021. The SDFSC has 14 members registered to compete.  To help keep them safe on their trip there, and to return safely, SDFSC has ordered each of the skaters and coaches going an SDFSC logo mask with filter inserts (will be delivered 🤞 to the coaches) :

Stay safe and have a great skate!
