Why Join a Skating Club?

Joining the club is an important next step in building a strong foundation as a figure skater. Once you’re ready to utilize more practice ice time, take U.S. Figure Skating tests, or compete beyond the Basic Skills level, it is a good time to join the club.

You must be a full member of the U.S. Figure Skating Association in order to take skating tests or to compete at a higher level than Basic Skills.
