2024 Summer Skating

The Steamboat Skating Club team training is divided into different color groups. Skaters are placed in each group based on their skill level. Below is the pipeline of how the color groups progress based on the United States Figure Skating Association level system.

All club levels, including intro, are encouraged to take group lessons in the summer. Skaters get a report card at the end of the summer that indicates the suitable group for them in the next season.

Ages

Skater must be 4 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.
