Merch Update

We know everyone is very excited for the merch to come in. When it arrives, we will send out an email to let everyone know when and how to pick up their order. In the meantime, let us know if you need anything!

Camp

Our second, and final, Camp of the summer begins Tuesday, July 6th. If you wish to participate and have not signed up yet, you can do so by signing onto goleevo.com and choosing the July Camp. You must sign up by the first class to be able to participate, even if you will miss one or more of the classes. Remember that Camp is for skaters currently in Basic 5 and above. If you need help signing up, or have singed up by mistake and need help getting a refund, please let us know either in person or by email at contact@fscoflouisiana.com. If you were signed up for our last Camp, and are joining us again, we will be adding on to what you have learned thus far. Hope to see you all there!

Our 5K will be held on August 7th from 8 am-10 am, at St. Julien Park. The 5K is open to the public, not just skaters, so help us get the word out there! Everyone will have to register beforehand at https://www.usfigureskating.org/news/article/register-get-virtual-5k. As club members you are strongly encouraged to attend. This is a great opportunity to get outside and get active!
