Open House – Friday, November 14, 7:30 pm – 9:00 pm
Have you ever wanted to learn how to figure skate? Have you or your child recently fallen in love with skating? Do you have questions about how it all works: how to get started, how to find a coach, how to get your own skates, how to participate in testing or competitions? Come join us at our open house at the South Charleston Memoria Ice Arena on Friday, November 14th. Come see what we’re all about. Bring your family and friends – and your questions! Skating will be free for everyone, and members of both the Board and Junior Board will be on hand to tell you all about figure skating in general and our club in particular, as well as answer any and all questions. All are welcome!

Light the Night Group Night – Monday, December 1, 5:00 pm – 9:00 pm
Join fellow skaters and their families for a fun night at Light the Night at the GoMart Ballpark. Enjoy the lights choreographed to holiday music, walk through the light display (don’t get lost in the maze!), have some s’mores, and – of course – go skating! Tickets are $10 per person 3 years old and up. Children 2 and under are free but still need a ticket to scan at the gate.
Skaters who are participating in the exhibition that night will receive a free ticket, so no need to purchase one for them. Click here to request your tickets. Payment can be given to any board member. All tickets must be paid for by Sunday, November 23rd to take advantage of the group rate.
Light the Night Club Exhibition – Monday, December 1, 5:15 pm – 5:45 pm
CFSC will be hosting a figure skating exhibition during Light the Night at the GoMart Ballpark, and we need skaters! There will be a group number with all skaters, and each skater will have the opportunity to demonstrate some of their best skills (this will not be a full program). As a bonus, all skaters participating in the exhibition will receive free admission for the night. If you are interested in participating, please complete the interest form in our October newsletter that was emailed to all club members on October 9th.
Beginner Ice Skating Clinics – Saturday, December 6 & 27, 9:00 am – 11:30 am

You can register for either clinic – or both! – here.
