Getting your skaters ready for Nationals - We have lots of Ice time
at the National Capital Open this year, there is extra time for
folks to practice relays, and if you don't mind staying late or
coming in early there is some extra practice and warm up time. The
Association has gone above and beyond to provide this time to
Association Skaters.

So sign up for the meet, this is a really great warm up for
Nationals. Ice time is 3pm-11pm on Saturday and 6am - 1pm on
Sunday, but don't worry, the meet itself has very reasonable hours.
This is a 2 day meet, visit the USS site for
details. For out of towner's the times are great, Ice Time doesn't
start until 3pm on Saturday and ends around 1pm on Sunday.

Just a few notes on Nationals - Remember, you must be a member of
the Association in good standing (which means you paid your
association fees) to participate at Nationals, you need the
Association President or Secretary to approve your application. We
are checking those who signed up online and compairing it to the
list of members.

If you wish to try out for the Nationals relay team you need to try
out at the Nationals Capital Open. We will also have Relay practice
as part of the meet.
