CLUB ICE RETURNS!
The name has changed, but Club Ice returns! We will be skating at the TaxSlayer Center (formerly iWi) on Mondays from 4:30-6 p.m., starting October 9. All skaters will need to have a signed waiver on file.
The cost of club ice is $10 per hour or $5 per half hour for club members. Non-members pay $15 per hour up to 10 sessions. Cash or checks are accepted. We have a punch card available for your convenience, with 20 half-hour punches for $100. Enter the TaxSlayer Center through the backstage door, which is a heavy metal door on the west side of the building towards the back. There are no rental skates available. The club buys this ice, so we encourage our members to utilize it whenever possible.
FSCQC classes and events, as well as complete ice schedules, are always posted here under "Calendars".

SARAH FRANCE CLASSES
Some pictures from our work with Sarah France. During her two-day visit, we had on-ice edge classes, off-ice dance classes, and on-ice private lessons. What a great way to start the new season! |
SARAH FRANCE, Guest Coach
Sarah France's skating career has spanned every discipline and aspect of the sport over the last 20+ years. She is a US Figure Skating double gold medalist, national ice dance competitor and three time competitor at the US Open Professional Skating Championships. She works full time as a coach and choreographer to local, regional, sectional and national competitors and medalists and actively skates professionally as a guest skater for various ice shows and in professional competitions and events. Outside of her extensive skating background, Sarah has performed as a professional dancer off the ice and has over 25 years of experience in classical and contemporary ballet and modern dance. She is passionate about sharing her love of skating and commitment to technique and artistry with skaters of all levels.
Sarah will be visiting The River's Edge on Thursday, July 27 and Friday, July 28. She will be teaching on-ice classes in stroking and edging as well as off-ice ballet classes. Sarah is also available for private lessons. This is a great opportunity to get extra input on the artistic aspects of your programs, especially for our skaters who plan to compete at the State Games of America.
Registration forms will be available at the rink from Coach Ferelith, or print it out from the link below.

JOHN DEERE MATCHING FUNDS
For those of you that have family members or friends that work at John Deere, we are pleased to share that FSCQC has now been set up in John Deere's volunteerism tool. This means that for John Deere employees who volunteer time with FSCQC (such as for shows, competitions, etc), the employee can submit those volunteer hours for the "John Deere Dollars for Doers" program, resulting in John Deere making a monetary donation to FSCQC. In addition, any John Deere employee that gives a monetary donation to the club can request John Deere "Matching Funds" resulting in a matching donation from Deere. Dollars for Doers funds and matching funds can be requested through the John Deere Volunteerism tool by selecting "Figure Skating Club of the Quad Cities." Pass this along to any John Deere employees you know that may want to help the FSCQC out!
