On
the first Monday of every month during the season, MSSC holds "Badge
Night," where skaters are given the opportunity to earn badges
as part of the 10-level U.S. Speedskating Instructional Badge Program.
MSSC skaters are encouraged to wear their team skinsuits to "Badge
Night", when they are given the opportunity to meet the criteria
for the skill level they are working on. Many skaters wear their badges
on the sleeve of their MSSC club jacket. Download the 24-page US Speedskating Instructional Badge Program Handbook in .pdf format here. |
