The USFSA, ISI and Colonial Skating Club

Colonial Skating Club is a sanctioned member club of the USFSA. This means our skaters, who are registered with the USFSA through us, can take USFSA tests and compete in USFSA sanctioned competitions, carnivals, shows, etc. when you skate in a USFSA event, you skate for Colonial Skating Club. A USFSA registered skater may belong to more than one club. However, a skater must designate only one club to be their "Home Club."

The USFSA is the National Governing Body (NGB) of figure skating in the United States. This position was delegated to the USFSA by Congress. We also work with the International Skating Union and are a class "A" member of the US Olympic Committee. Skaters aspiring to become World and/or Olympic champions progress through a series of skating tests and qualifying competitions to reach the World and Olympic level.

USFSA sponsors a Basic Skills Program which is administered by the rink management. The Basic Skills Program is where most skaters will begin. The program is a for-runner for individuals who wish to have advanced instructions in figure skating. the Basic Skills Program has its own test structure that you must follow.

Some members of the Colonial Skating Club also belong to the ISI (Ice Skating Institute), a recreational skating program that is administered by rink managers and skating professionals who work for a rink or teach independently. They also have a test and competitive structure and national and international competitions. This competitive structure does not lead to World or Olympic championships. When you skate in an ISI event, you represent the rink where you skate. The points you earn for skating will go toward a team trophy for that competition.

Colonial Skating Club is proud of the achievements of all our skaters, in whichever events they enter. Because we are a USFSA Club, our major emphasis is on USFSA Events.
