Renewals for 2024- 2025 due NOW!

On June 1, US Figure Skating opens registration for the new season that will start on July 1, 2024.  US Figure Skating will send confirmation of your renewal after June 1.

If you plan on competing or testing on or after July 1, please complete your registration as soon as possible.  EMS registrations for the Non-Qualifying Series are open, but the registrations are not complete until you have renewed your US Figure Skating membership through your club.

For the 24-25 season, US Figure Skating has increased the amount that the clubs pay per member.  At least 65% of each club membership fee goes to US Figure Skating, so we have increased our membership fees to cover the new costs.  For some levels, such as the Parent Membership, the US Figure Skating cost is equal to our fee.

We hope that you have a good 24-25 season on and off the ice.
