Comments and suggestions are welcomed so a balance of different perspectives can be achieved.
Input from coaches and judges will help to achieve a consensus. We hope our efforts will result in
skaters who are well prepared to test and receive a uniform evaluation by judges from rink to rink.

San Diego Figure Skating Communications (SDFSC) is a not for profit organization.

The goal of  SDFSC is to provide information that
encourages participation and achievement in the sport of figure skating.

Additional articles are currently under development to serve as reading and
reference materials for seminars for skaters, parents, coaches, and judges.
This web site is provided for figure skaters of all ages involved in
Basic Skating Skills and USFS Figure Skating programs

The information on this site is provided to support skater's efforts to
achieve their full potential in the pursuit of his/her skating goals, and to transfer
those skills to their future education, career, and other life activities.


     Information is an important tool that provides a basis for the articles being developed. The goal is to help facilitate communications between judges and coaches that provides the technical descriptions  coaches use in their teaching and for judges the basis they use to arrive at the minimum standard for passing each level of tests.
