January 18th, 2021


A lady who helps run the Learn To Skate (LTS) programs and all figure skating programs asked my dad about signing me up for the Junior Club (The Junior Club is what comes after passing Basic 6). We at this time declined the offer because of how busy my schedule is.


January 28th, 2021


Got permission from my track coach to be able to leave track practices (every week day that we have school from 3:15pm to 5:00pm) early on Mondays to go to the Junior Club (which is Mondays 5pm to 6pm).


February 1st, 2021


Had a snow day and didn't have any sweethearts dance practice. Originally asked my parents to go to the noon public skating but then my dad suggested doing a "trial run" of the Junior Club, got to see what the Junior Club was like. Instead of having the LTS usual of over 40 skaters on the ice at a time, in the Junior Club there were only 8 (including 2 coaches and also including me) total skaters on the ice. In the LTS, we had to stay in one section of the rink during the instructional time but in the Junior Club, we were able to use the entire rink and only had to make sure we didn't run into anyone and make sure we don't get in anyone's way. We did more advanced versions of forward edges and more advanced forward half swizzle pumps then we practiced lunges, basic/traditional spirals, three turns, spins, and I started learning the waltz jump. I found that I really liked it, even more than the LTS because my coach/instructor is able to push me a little more. After talking to my dad, the decision was made to finish out the current set of lessons and then switch over to the Junior Club (First official Junior Club practice will be on February 15th, 2021)


February 13th, 2021


Passed Basic 5 and last Saturday Learn to Skate USA basics lesson

Started my very first official Junior Club practice and started at the Learn to Skate USA Pre-free skate.
