2024-2025 Season Skating
The Steamboat Skating Club organizes team training into various skill level groups. This structure enables coaches to provide targeted instruction in smaller settings, ensuring that skaters receive guidance that is both suitable and safe. This season, we are adopting the level names established by the United States Figure Skating Association, aiming to align our program with the broader national skating community. The following are the levels as skaters advance through the program.
Ages
Skater must be 5 years old or older.
All skaters new to Intro to Figure Skating need to have passed the City of Steamboat Springs Learn to Skate Program or an equivalent Learn to Skate Basic 3 Program prior to enrolling. Those who enroll without passing a Basic 3 program will be re-directed to the Steamboat Springs Learn to Skate Program.
