The Skating Club of Northern Virginia is a proud home for many adult skaters and is committed to actively building a lively community for adult skaters across Northern Virginia.
The Adult Committee
The Adult Committee for the Skating Club of Northern Virginia wants to make sure adult skaters in the club and the region have a space to get information, meet other adults, and learn about what the adult skating community has to offer.
The Committee will post information here about upcoming competitions, the US Figure Skating Adult Committee, and about upcoming social events for adult skaters in the community.
If you have information you want to share with adults in the Skating Club, you can reach out at adultskating@scnv.org
Interested in meeting other adult skaters in SCNV?
Members who are registered as an “Adult Skater” can choose to be added to the Adult Skating Email list, where we’ll share news and info relevant to the Adult Community.
The Committee has a full season of events planned through the early summer of 2024.
If you are interested in helping out with the Adult Committee, get in touch with us at AdultSkating@scnv.org.
SCNV’s Adult Skate & Snack Series
The Adult Committee will host a social event quarterly to give skaters an opportunity to get together, enjoy skating at a local rink, and afterward share snacks and have a chat. Each quarter the event will have a different theme for the chat.
The first event was held on October 1, 2023. The theme of was: 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 we decided it’d probably be best to put together an info sheet on it.
So we developed a detailed document we’ve titled “What I Wish I Knew About Competing as an Adult Skater“. Consider this a living document that will be updated with experiences, tips, or information as it is made available. If you have tips or an experience that you think should be shared here, you can email adultskating@scnv.org.
Our next Social Skate & Snack should be over the winter, likely in January, when we’ll visit one of the many beautiful outdoor rinks in the Washington DC area.
