Skating Fridays

Officially an Official

Appointment letter

After 8 grueling weeks of waiting, I finally received a notification that my application for a Pre-Silver test judge appointment has been approved! While I await the official notification from US Figure Skating, this new is super exciting.

The minimum number of tests I had to trial during this part of the journey was 30. I believe I completed 60, so I did double what was required. I also had to trial judge two in-person test sessions.

I am not done yet! Now, I am aiming to earn my Gold test judge appointment, which is the pinnacle in the test judging world. I have to complete 18 tests (I believe I am close to 30 now) and attend 2 in-person tests sessions (I only have one at the moment). Hopefully I can fulfill all the requirements by the end of the year.

If you see me on your (or your skaters’) judging panel, don’t be scared! 🙂
