Attention High School Skaters

Have you heard of the Wisconsin High School Skating Series? Well, for the 2021-2022 school year, the High School Skating Team is BACK at the GGBFSC!

Any high schooler from the Greater Green Bay and surrounding areas is eligible to participate. If you or your skater will be in 9th-12th grade during the 2021-2022 school year, you are eligible to compete!

This team is a great way to spend time with other club members, team bond, and compete in a fun circumstance. We will be competing as the “De Pere High School Figure Skating Team,” but you can attend any high school, and participate!

If you are interested in learning more, please plan to attend an informational meeting held on Tuesday, July 13 at 7:00pm, after club ice. This will be held in the upstairs lobby of Cornerstone Community Ice Center. Please contact Coach Molly Kelly at mollykelly57@gmail.com or (920)265-9553 if you have any questions. If you are unable to attend, please reach out to Molly.
