Important Notice Regarding Sanctions!!!
WFSC sponsored events are sanctioned for our skaters when required, but skaters need a letter of permission from the Club in order to participate in an exhibition or other such event hosted by other clubs or rinks. Sanctioned events ensure the protection of our skaters' eligibility for USFS qualifying competitions & activities. For more information, refer to the USFS Sanctions Primer. Please contact Ellyn Kestnbaum to request a sanction for an event at a WFSC rink (USFS requires 30 days notice to submit), or to obtain a letter of permission for an individual skater to perform with another club or rink.
