ATTENTION LAFSC SKATERS - SOUTHWEST CRITIQUE AND SEMINAR TO BE HELD ON AUGUST 27, 2004 - SIGN UP NOW!! (8/5/04)
On August 27, 2004 from 7:00pm to 10:00pm, LAFSC will be hosting its annual Southwest Critique at Pickwick. This is a great opportunity for our skaters to perform their programs in front of judges in a more casual and supportive environment. Judges will be providing individualized feedback to each skater and their coaches following their performance. Following the on-ice critique, LAFSC will host a question/answer session wherein skaters, parents, and coaches will learn about what judges will be looking for at Southwest and common pitfalls to avoid. Skaters will also be shown the forms that are used by judges, and last, and most importantly, it will provide our members with a unique opportunity to ask judges whatever they want. Now is the time to ask those nagging questions! Please take advantage of this terrific opportunity and reserve your spot today. Contact Tony Bardin at (323) 259-8242 to sign up.
