You have probably noticed that this
is the first newsletter you have received in a few months. As you can
see, we re-vamped its look and we
hope that you like the result. Some of
you might remember the day when we

Preliminarily, I want to thank the
membership for electing me as your
President. I am honored to serve you,
and hopefully I can be instrumental in
making some changes for the better.
This season has been exciting so
far. We hosted LA Open instead
of a club competition in July.
Skaters, coaches, and judges
came from all over the country to
join us. The competition was selected by USFS as a Future
Champion Series event and it
spanned four long and exciting
days. The Board has decided to
keep this competition as an open
in the coming years, and we
hope for the same success.
In August, we hosted a Southwest Critique for our home club
members. All such members were invited to skate their competition program. Judges who were assigned to
judge Regionals gave invaluable feedback to the skaters and their coaches
in enough time to make necessary
changes before Regionals. Following
the on-ice critique, skaters, coaches
and parents were treated to an off-ice
seminar on the new rules and judging
protocol. All attending members were
given sheets that judges use in their
event, including short program deduction sheets. Further, Nationals judges
were available to answer questions
throughout the evening. The critique
was a great success and the feedback
from the program was excellent. We
will definitely follow a similar format
next year.

over 200 skaters from all over the

SKATER SPOTLIGHT
LAFSC SKATERS WIN MEDALS
IN FUTURE CHAMPIONS SERIES
Our very own Brent Mercado, Brian Simm, Hayley Soo Hoo,
Jackie Powers & David Sparks won medals in the Future Champions
Series (Pacific Coast ) for their respective divisions of Intermediate
Men, Novice Men, Intermediate Ladies and Intermediate dance. Now
in its second year, the program works in tandem with the U.S. Figure Skating non-qualifying structure.
Skaters in the juvenile, intermediate and novice levels (singles, dance and pairs) who are not otherwise ineligible accrue points based on their placements at non-qualifying competitions that are part of
the series. Each section has its own series. At the end of the FCS season, each skater who has competed in at least three FCS competitions in the same discipline and level will be eligible for tallying of
their points. The skater's best three placements will be used to calculate their point total. The top
point receivers in each section in each discipline and level will be awarded FCS medals. Brent &
Brian were awarded Gold Medals. Hayley, David and Jackie were awarded Silver Medals. Congratulations!

Moves test consists of
many intricate turns,
changes of edge, and
balance, and require the skater to
perform these moves with great fluidity and presentation, qualities which
Sarah possesses in great abundance. Earlier this year, Sarah was

Brian Simm & Jordan Judt
Represent LAFSC In North American Challenge Series
Two of our LAFSC members were selected to represent the United States at NACS (North American
Challenge Series) events this fall. The competitions took place this summer in San Jose, Calif., August 19-22, and in Waterloo, Ontario, Canada, August 26-29.
The North American Challenge Skate program began in 1996 and is jointly sponsored by U.S. Figure
Skating and Skate Canada. The competitions are open to eligible skaters from U.S. Figure Skating,
Skate Canada and invited guests from the Mexican Federation. U.S. athletes are selected to participate by virtue of their placement in the U.S. Championships and/or the U.S. Junior Championships. The goal of
NACS is to provide international competitive experience for young skaters. The NACS events also provide skaters
with the opportunity to enhance their technical skills and improve their level of performance early in the competitive
season. Previously, the NACS series consisted of four events —two in the U.S. and two in Canada, but the program
was changed to two events this year. The United States NACS competition was held in conjunction with the Silicon
Open and included junior ladies, junior dance, novice ladies, novice men and novice dance. The Canadian NACS
event included, junior men, junior pairs, novice men, novice pairs and novice ladies.

MISS PIGGY TAKES GOLD IN LAKE PLACID!
Miss Piggy (aka LAFSC
adult skater, Patty Poddig) won
gold in Lake Placid in her Interpretive Ladies II event in Lake
Placid at the US Adult National
Figure Skating Championships
earlier this year. Skating as
Miss Piggy and her longtime
beau, Kermit, Patty won the
crowd and the judges over with
great flair and style in placing
first in her event for the second
time in two years!
Patty has just passed
her Adult Gold Freestyle test
pete at the Gold level on behalf
of the Los Angeles Figure Skating Club for the upcoming adult
competitive season. She is excited about the challenge of
moving up to her new classification, and at press time is currently working on new programs. We are sure she will
come up with something great—
she always does!
