Figure Skating
COVID-19
There is an inherent risk when playing sports/activities, but not limited to bumps, bruises, etc. Diseases can spread by congregating and playing any sport/activity together. Please use caution and make sure your child has their own water bottle not to be shared. If you are not comfortable with this year's extra risk, please do what's comfortable for you. Your child's health and safety is our #1 concern.
