The Path to Membership

Starting a figure skating club is a great way to grow your local figure skating community, and the process is similar to that of launching a small business. Starting a new club takes time, resources, know-how and a visionary mindset.

Each new member club will undergo interim and provisional membership before becoming a full member club. The process can take up to two years to complete, but U.S. Figure Skating is here to help every step of the way.
