The Skating Club of Northern Virginia is proud to support a vibrant, growing community of adult figure skaters at all levels — whether you’re stepping onto the ice for the first time, returning after a break, or preparing for competition.
The Adult Committee
Throughout the year, our Adult Skating Committee works with the SCNV Board to create opportunities that promote connection, confidence, and fun — both on and off the ice. Past seasons have included social gatherings like Skate & Snack sessions, low-pressure classes and clinics, and send-offs for adult skaters heading to Sectionals and Nationals. We’ve had a blast building community and can’t wait to keep the momentum going!
The SCNV Adult Committee is excited to share upcoming opportunities for adult skaters this season! All the following clinics will be held at Fairfax Ice Arena.
- Sunday, October 26, 2025; 11:00 – 11:45 am – A stroking clinic; details and registration to follow.
- Sunday, November 9, 2025; 11:00 – 11:45 am – Planned on-ice choreo class (similar to last year’s); details and registration to come soon.
- Sunday, February 8, 2026; 11:00 – 11:45 am – Planned spin or jump clinic.
- Sunday, March 1, 2026; 11:00 – 11:45 am – A Send-Off Event for adult skaters heading to Sectionals or Nationals.

SCNV’s Adult Skate & Snack Events
The Adult Committee occasionally hosts social events to give adult skaters an opportunity to get together, enjoy skating at a local rink, and afterward share snacks and have a chat about a topic of interest. We are looking at the 2024-2025 season and are taking ideas for conversation topics or rinks to visit.
Started back in 2023 we held an event called: So You’ve Thought About Competing? We had a number of adult skaters come out and ask a lot of questions, a lot of information was shared, and so we decided it’d probably be best to put together an info sheet for those who didn’t know where to start.
We’ve titled “What I Wish I Knew About Competing as an Adult Skater“. We consider this a living document that will be updated with experiences, tips, or information as it is shared or asked about within the community. If you have tips or an experience that you think should be shared here, you can email adultskating@scnv.org.
