Registration is now officially open for Regionals and Sectionals through the 'Members Only' section of US Figure Skating website.

After three test sessions already in the month of June, demand for testing is expected to be heavy all summer so please get your test application in early to secure your place.  An additional test session at Belmont has been added on July 26 for those who could not be accommodated on July 12. An additional test session at Yerba Buena has been added on July 31 for those who could not be accommodated on July 24. Summer test dates are as follows:

Yerba Buena:  July 24, July 31,  August 21

Belmont:  July 26, August 2, August 30

Additional sessions will be added if necessary to accommodate everyone’s needs. That is another reason to sign up now so that our test chairs can plan.

Please welcome our new Belmont test chair, Celeste Kohaya. Celeste is a competitive adult skater and many of you know her well from sharing practice time with her at Belmont. You can reach Celeste at celeste@scsf.org. Those who plan to test at Belmont can give your test applications directly to Celeste when you see her or mail them to SCSF Belmont Test Chair, PO Box 191205, San Francisco CA 94119-1205.
