July Skating News from Coach Linda & Team
Hey skaters, friends, and fans!
Summer’s in full swing, and while the rink’s doing its usual seasonal shuffle, we’re not slowing down one bit. Here’s your scoop on all things artistic skating—from show and competition highlights to what’s ahead this fall.
Let’s roll!
Summer Rink Closure & Schedule Shuffle
As many of you know, El Centro Skate Rink is planning a major construction project later this summer that will bring some bright shiny new bathrooms to the facility! Good news!
Bad news? Our daytime skating program will be impacted and we may be skating outdoors or at other venues while construction is ongoing through the month of August. We have yet to have definitive dates, however we’ve cancelled our monthly subscription memberships until we can be sure that our skaters will receive the programs they look forward to each month.
For now, and until we get the construction schedule from the rink, here are our hours until we leave town for Nationals on July 20th:
