U.S. Figure Skating, the national governing body for figure skating in the United States, is comprised of member clubs, collegiate clubs, school-affiliated clubs, Learn to Skate USA programs and individual members. The charter member clubs of U.S. Figure Skating numbered seven in 1921 when the association was formed. Today, more than 750 full member, collegiate and school-affiliated clubs and 1,000 Learn to Skate USA programs cover the country from coast to coast and from border to border, and the number of skaters who register on an annual basis total more than 203,000. Tests – moves in the field, free skating, pairs and dance – are the measurement of progress in the various disciplines of the sport. Official test sessions are conducted by member clubs for their members, members of other clubs, including collegiate clubs and individual members. Under certain conditions, members of other skating associations may also take the U.S. Figure Skating official tests. Competitions on every level are a principal incentive for figure skaters to train, develop and improve their proficiency.

  • About US Figure Skating Tests
    All About U.S. Figure Skating Tests If you or your child recently started taking private lessons in figure skating you may have heard from your coach, or other skaters about the test structure, or been told to start working on “moves in the field” or “pre- preliminary” or your “first test”. The test structure can be confusing to new skaters, but it is one of the most important parts of figure skating, and will soon become an integral part of your skating language! WHAT IS THE TEST STRUCTURE AND WHY DOES IT MATTER? The test structure is often called the “backbone of U.S. Figure Skating.” Starting with the first test you take, through your entire career, it is the national standard that you are measured against. When you fill out applications for just about everything in figure skating, the first question will be “What is the highest U.S. Figure Skating Test passed?” U.S. Figure Skating tests are offered in the following tracks: 1. Moves in the Field 2. Free Skate 3. Pattern Dance or Solo Pattern Dance 4. Free Dance or Solo Free Dance 5. Pairs The level you enter in competitions is determined by your highest test passed, often sessions at rinks are divided by the skaters’ test levels, and skaters registering for a camp or clinic are divided by test level. Each U.S. Figure Skating test that you pass goes on your permanent record, and is an achievement you always carry with you. In fact, your tests passed and your placement at qualifying competitions are the ONLY things on your U.S.
