Cardinal Classic News
US Figure Skating has a new requirement that competitions submit a medical plan and provide onsite medical personnel during Series competitions. We are conducting a survey of resources we have among Club members and parents. If you are a licensed physician, physician assistant, nurse practitioner, nurse, chiropractor, physical therapist, athletic trainer or massage therapist, could you please send Melissa a note at melissa@scnv.org.
At this point, we are building a list of contacts but are hoping to identify a body of medical support volunteers willing to volunteer for several hours during the Cardinal Classic, June 2-4, 2023. We are also looking for one individual to lead the Medical Committee on the LOC (the Club committee which leads planning for the competition).
