About

Some adults are new to skating and have never taken a lesson, while others have completed on the national level as children.  To get started, or return to the ice, the adult skater has several options ranging from the Basic Skills Program through to proficiency tests and competitions on the local, national and international level.

U.S. Figure Skating Basic Skills has created an introductory skating curriculum for the adult who has never skated.  It is divided into four levels in which beginner adult skaters will progress at an individual rate while being challenged and motivated.  The curriculum is designed specifically to teach the adult skater the basic elements of forward, backward, turns and stops before advancing to more challenging skating moves.  This is an exciting program that can be attended as a group lesson, a coffee club group, or to follow in a private lesson venue.  As a basic skill member, adults may enter Basic Skills Competitions are their level.  This is a great opportunity for adults to showcase the skating elements they have learned.

The best way to be a part of the US Figure skating is to become a member of the local  US Figure Skating Club.  The local club at the Extreme Ice Center is the Carolinas FSC: www.carolinasfsc.org.
