Judge’s Critique
Have you taken a skating test more than once without passing? Are you unsure about whether you are “test ready?” Windy City FSC offers our members the opportunity to have your skating critiqued by a judge before you take it. Critiques are available in person or virtually and by special arrangement only. Fee is $25. Please contact the test chair, Valerie McKinney to schedule.
