(1/31/2012) The February 20th Moves/FS Test Session is now full. However, we were able to secure an extra hour of ice at the beginning of the session to help accommodate most of the skaters hoping to test. The starting time for the session at Rockville Ice Arena has been moved up from 1230p to 1130a. The session will end at the same time: 630p. If for any reason you are unable to test starting at 1130a please let the test chairs know asap via email.

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.
