Get Ready for Competition Season! Registration is now open for our Annual Singles Critique, happening Saturday, April 11, at Prince William Ice Center. This event is free for SCNV members and provides a rare chance for skaters to skate their programs and receive expert feedback from a U.S. Figure Skating judge and a USFS technical panel official (where applicable).
Skaters will skate their program to music on empty ice, just like at a competition. This exhibition is great practice for skaters of all levels, and helps inspire confidence! Officials will be there to offer feedback, including identifying and issues; in past years, our judges helped catch missing elements and offered practical tips to improve performance.
To register, log into Entryeeze and find “Freestyle Critique, Saturday, April 11, in Prince William, VA (Members Only)” under Test Sessions.
We’d love to see your skater take advantage of this opportunity!
