Happy Spring!

We hope everyone is enjoying the warmer weather. Planning for the Chesapeake Open and the fall is underway, and we hope that next skating season will include our usual club gatherings.

Reminder: Due to a hockey tournament at Ice World on April 23-25, there will be no club ice on the 24th or 25th. We will have club ice sessions at Reisterstown Sportsplex on the 25th, at 8:10, 9:10, 10:10 and 11:10 a.m. We currently have space available for skaters and coaches on each session. Contact 
info@baltimorefigureskatingclub.com to reserve times. You must register and pay in advance.

April 29 is the last day of spring club ice. We will not be purchasing club ice in the summer. Our fall club ice schedule will be announced as soon as it is finalized.

For the rest of our club ice season, remember that we still must follow rink, state, local and USFS safety protocols at our club ice and test sessions.
All skaters and coaches should be wearing a mask and social distancing at least 6 feet while waiting to enter the rink, in the rink lobby and while waiting to get on the ice. Skaters only may remove their mask while skating but should put it back on once they step off the ice. Ice World has requested that skaters and coaches wear masks and social distance outside when on rink grounds, including the parking lot.

Skaters and coaches MUST notify info@baltimorefigureskatingclub.com at least 24 hours in advance if you will not be skating on a session for which you are scheduled.
