SKATERS IN HIGH SCHOOL

Interested in competing as a team? There are USFSA competitions for teams representing high schools. The events are singles, moves in the field and maneuver teams. The team members compete individually and they also score points for their high school team. If you are interested, please call the Club office at (302) 831-4686 for more information.

TO ALL OF OUR SKATERS WHO HAVE COMPETED INTERNATIONALLY THIS YEAR

The Board of Directors and the Club Membership at large would like to congratulate each and every one of you. Placement in a competition is important, but not as important as the pride you show in representing your country. You represent the best in American youth. We are very proud of you and your accomplishments.
