AFSC Events include: Bulletin Board, Iowa Games (July) or Cyclone Country Competitions (November), Exhibitions, Fall Kick-off (August), Fundraisers, Holiday Gala (December), National Skating Event (January), Newsletter, Publicity/Promotions, Recognition Event, Summer Camp (June-July), Website, Ice Monitors, Club Room, Board of Directors, Membership Development, Regional Send-off (September).

Senior Solo

Skates that qualify for a Senior Solo are asked to provide a skater biography along with a senior photo that will be used in the show program and at rink. Please send this information to the Show Chairpersons by February 1st, 2021.
 
Music for senior solos may be chosen by the skater and reviewed by the Show Director. Music length should coincide with the skater’s competition level. All choreography should be completed by a Club Coach and be “competition-ready” for show.
