Competitive figure skating’s version of Provincials is coming up this weekend! The 2017 Alberta Sectionals Figure Skating Championships is being held at Terwilliger Arena in Edmonton this year. 76 Calalta skaters qualified to skate in this competition! Well done Skaters and Coaches!! These skaters range in age from 11-21 and skate in singles, ice dance and pairs. Check out the Section’s website for the live streaming link so you can watch the action from the comfort of your own home.

Please check with your coaches as to their availability from Thursday to Sunday Nov 3-6. They may be at Sectionals!!

Test Days

Don’t forget we have test days on Nov 22, 24 and 25 at Jimmie Condon. Check with your coach to see if your skater is testing. Also check out this month’s attachment for more details on what a test day looks like and the different dances, skills and programs your skater may be doing.
