Here for you
A message from the US Figure Skating Association (USFS) in regards to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic: “Until the rink doors are open again, stay healthy and most importantly take care of yourself and your loved ones. We’re all in this together and will emerge a stronger and better ice sports community.”

Official local and federal guidance on the COVID-19 pandemic below:

Per the Governor of Virginia Executive Order 55, a state wide stay at home order is in effect until 6/10, supplementing Governor of Virginia Executive Order 53 also in effect for all non-essential businesses (including ice rinks) to stay closed until 4/24. The Amended Executive Order 53 has now extended the closure until 5/8.

If you have any questions or concerns, please contact the president@scnv.org for further assistance.

Adult Skating Congratulations – correction

Annual Banquet News – 8/9
The Annual Banquet is rebooked for Sunday, 8/9. Please continue to please take some time to look through your photos and short video clips from last year, and email the best of them to Jessica at johara2010@gmail.com.

We like action shots, athletes and coaches, group shots, whatever sums up your year on the ice. If possible, please indicate in the email who is in each photo or video (or something along lines of ‘adult theatre team’ for large group photos). This will help us greatly.

We miss seeing you all at the rink. Until we can meet up again, please stay safe and healthy.

Test Session News
Both the 4/17 and 5/17 test sessions at PWIC and FIA respectively have been cancelled due to the Governor of Virginia Executive Order 55 for the COVID-19 pandemic. All future test sessions are on hold. Please contact the Test Session Chair at testchair@scnv.org with any questions.

Club Ice News
As part of our planning for the 2020-21 season, we are working on a subscriber feedback/club survey to learn what went well, what did not go so well (up to 3/16), and what areas the club can improve upon.
