Skating clubs have many things to offer skaters of all ages and abilities. Nearly all skaters, from those who have yet to pass their first United States Figure Skating Association test, to those skating at Nationals, belong to a skating club. Belonging to a club offers many things such as rewards, recognition, special events, performances, support and opportunities, but most importantly gives the skater a place to call home.

In all USFS sanctioned figure skating competitions, you must be a USFS member to participate. By being a club member, you are automatically eligible to compete in nearly all USFS competitions across the United States.

As a member of USFS, you will receive a subscription to the official magazine of the USFS, "Skating". This is one of the premier magazines in the figure skating world.

Skaters are encouraged to obtain a current copy of the official USFS Rulebook which governs the sport of figure skating, competitions, test structure, and provides other related educational and instructional materials.
