SCNV is proud to partner with Gardens FSC to host our first Showcase competition in the DMV area on May 8, 2027. We are especially excited that this event will be part of the inaugural National Showcase Series.
This is a wonderful opportunity for SCNV to help bring more Showcase opportunities to skaters in our region while working together with another local club to grow and strengthen our skating community.
As with all successful competitions, we will need the support of our amazing volunteers! We will be looking for members and parents to help with competition planning as well as a variety of volunteer roles leading up to and during the event.
If you are interested in joining the planning committee or would like to volunteer, please let us know. No previous competition experience is necessary. There will be many different ways to help, and we would love to have more of our SCNV families involved. Please contact thuthuy@scnv.org for more information.
Are you a medical professional? Would you lend us your expertise? SCNV is required to have medical professionals rinkside during competitions as a condition for receiving a sanction. The qualifications are: Licensed physicians (MD/DO), physician assistants (PA-C), nurse practitioners (NP), nurses (RN), chiropractors (DC), physical therapists (PT), athletic trainers (ATC) and massage therapists (LMT).
We know some of our professionals who have helped at the Cardinal Classic in past years. If you are not on our resource list, please send Melissa an email at melissa@scnv.org. We realize the schedules are complex; being on our resource list is not a commitment to volunteer at the Cardinal – just a commitment to receiving an email from us checking availability!
Have you envisioned yourself up on the judging podium? Do you dream of becoming The Voice of figure skating? Do you wonder what actually happens in the back room that produces scores?
SCNV is on its annual recruiting drive for new US Figure Skating officials. We cannot run competitions without officials, and those officials are developed from the ranks of skaters and parents. That means you!
Interested in learning more about becoming a Test Judge, CJS Competition Judge, Scoring Official, Music and Announcing appointments? Please contact Melissa at melissa@scnv.org.
