The countdown is on for our Greater Chicagoland Fall Invitational (GCFI), our club competition, held this year from September 6-8 at the Robert Crown Community Center in Evanston, IL. This year as an NQS and Non-Qualifying Competition, we have over 500 skaters coming from across the country to compete. One thing's for sure - we cannot hold a competition of this magnitude without LOTS of volunteers! Please sign-up to lend a hand here: www.volunteersignup.org/YLF9K

Volunteering helps build a sense of belonging and camaraderie amongst our members and families, and creates lasting club memories that go beyond training, competing and testing. We hope each and every member will give their time and talents to this event so that we can provide an excellent experience for our 2024 competitors. THANK YOU IN ADVANCE FOR YOUR HELP!

Simply "add an event" and choose miscellaneous - "Test Credit/Free Skate" if your level is eligible for IJS Protocol Test Credit. This is a particularly great time for Excel Series athletes to get a test in after their season!
