Success Stories
March, 2010
The Talbot Figure Skating Team (TFST) participated in the two day Skate Annapolis competition. The team was proud to have 25 skaters participate in 18 events winning 10 gold, 5 silver, and 1 bronze medals. Congratulations to the following skaters:
Kiersten, Hailey, Elizabeth, Corynne, Savanna, Samantha, Kiera, Taylor, Kylie, Madison H., Kaitlyn, Claire, Madeline, Heidi W., Amanda D., Julia, Caitlin, Shelby, Casey, Katie, Jessica, Brynn, Becky, Heidi P. & Madison L.
In addition, TFST also held its second Figure Skating Exhibition at the Talbot County Community Center (TCCC). Being the final weekend of ice before melting for the season, the team decorated TCCC with hundreds of underwater themed creatures to highlight their newest endeavor - an ice skating production team. The newly formed production team performed their 'Scuba Adventure' just prior to the shows intermission sporting colorful tropical fish and jellyfish costumes. Attendance again overwhelmed the bleacher area filling in several deep around the arena's walls. This show not only showcased skaters from TFST, but also from the Learn to Skate Program of Talbot County Parks & Rec and our neighboring rinks, Bowie Ice Arena and The Centre Ice at Delaware State Fair. Sixty-four skaters participated in this show; almost doubling the last exhibitions participation. TFST is disappointed the season had to end short, but looks forward to its second full season in the Fall, 2010.

November, 2009
The Talbot Figure Skating Team (TFST) held its first Figure Skating Exhibition at the Talbot County Community Center. The TCCC ice arena was beautifully decorated in a snowflake theme to kick off the winter sports season. Attendance overwhelmed the bleacher area at the Community Center spilling the audience around the rink to watch more than 35 figure skaters skate individually, in pairs, groups, and with the newly formed Talbot Synchronized Skating Team. Twenty six of those figure skaters are members of TFST. A few skaters had just begun skating this year through the 'Learn to Skate' program through Talbot County Department of Recreation, where others have been skating for several years. TFST looks forward to hosting many more free exhibitions at the Talbot County Community Center.

April, 2009
We closed our first season as a team at the 2009 Skate Annapolis Competition at the U.S. Naval Academy's Brigade Sports Complex, and our newly formed Talbot Figure Skating Team competed in 10 events, earning 9 gold medals and one silver medal. The Talbot Figure Skating Team (TFST) is dedicated to the advancement of our member's personal and athletic goals. We were formed to create unity amongst our skaters; educate parents and skaters on the fundamentals of skating; to establish an identity to positively represent our home rink at Talbot County Community Center; and to initiate social activities and team bonding. In our infancy, we are 40+ youth members strong and are continuing to grow. Although a 'club sport', we share many similarities with other recreation teams and programs throughout the area. The team board members and coaching staff make commitments to assist our figure skaters with training and ice time with the goal of having the Team be as competitive at the highest levels of competition as they can while having fun with this recreational sport.
Our hope is to provide a program that is enjoyable and rewarding for all participants. All of us at TFST are working together to develop a program that will be a positive influence on our youth from not only Talbot County, but from surrounding counties as well. In addition to learning about the sport of figure skating, we will work on the six pillars of character throughout the season. We hope that by building well-rounded young athletes, they will be able to give back to our community in a very positive way.
