The SDFSC Board of Directors hopes each of our figure skating families is healthy and safe in these difficult times. Like everyone else, we are monitoring the directions provided by the state, county, and city officials and looking forward to the day when we can safely return to the ice.
When we do return, things will come back slowly and differently. It will take time for skaters to return to where they were in skills and abilities. It will take time for coaches to get to all their students and have them ready for the next test and/or competition. Taking all of this into consideration, the board has decided to change/cancel additional upcoming events:
- The May and June Test Sessions are canceled. Existing registrations moved to July.
- The SDFSC Annual Meeting will be held through an online video conference. Elections and voting will be completed electronically, details by the end of May.
- The 2020 Skate La Grande competition is canceled. We won’t want to gather in crowds, nor will people have had enough ice time to be ready.
- 2020-2021 Membership renewal will be proceeding in June to ensure we are prepared when the rinks open again.
Updates to previously announced changes:
- The Road to Gold training camp was postponed. Exploring dates in late August and December. New date TBD.
- Synchronized Skating Tryout was postponed. New date TBD.
- The April Test Session was canceled. Next test session now July.
U.S. Figure Skating updates:
- Many events postponed or canceled through the end of June.
- The Governing Council has been postponed until May 15-16, 2020, and will be conducted as virtual meetings with electronic voting. Besides the usual long list of potential rules changes, there will undoubtedly be discussions and guidance for the resumption of future events.
