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!

SCNV is Looking to Grow our Team of Medical Service Professionals
Are you a medical professional? Would you lend us your expertise? SCNV is required to have medical professionals rinkside during competitions as a condition for us receiving a sanction. The qualifications are: Licensed physicians (MD/DO), physician assistants (PA-C), nurse practitioners (NP), nurses (RN), chiropractors (DC), physical therapists (PT), athletic trainers (ATC) and massage therapists (LMT).
We know some of our professionals who have helped at the Cardinal Classic in past years (thank you!!). If you are not on our resource list, please send Melissa an email at melissa@scnv.org . If you have friends who are medical professionals, can you reach out to see if they would like to join our resource list. We realize the schedules are complex; being on our resource list is not a commitment to volunteer at the Cardinal – just a commitment to receiving an email from us checking availability!
