Similar to intercollegiate team skating, U.S. Figure Skating’s high school program offers skaters the opportunity to compete on a team for their high school. Several states host a series of competitions and a state final. U.S. Figure Skating is currently working towards offering the inaugural High School Sectional Finals in the East Coast, Midwest, and Pacific Coast in the Spring of 2024. This opportunity will be open to any high school team registered with U.S. Figure Skating.
Get Started with High School Skating
To participate, skaters must be a member of U.S. Figure Skating and enrolled full-time in a high school. Home-schooled skaters are also eligible. There are no test requirements.
At least two skaters are required to start a high school skating team. Skaters can represent their high school or a combination of several area schools. Before forming a team, students are recommended to get approval from their high school however, it is not required. To get started, log into Members Only to complete registration with U.S. Figure Skating.

Graduating Seniors Program
The Graduating Seniors Program recognizes individuals graduating from high school who continued their training in figure skating while pursuing their academic studies. On behalf of the U.S. Figure Skating High School Program Subcommittee, the program honors qualified graduates for their achievements during high school through the presentation of a certificate to the skater during a school function or recognition opportunity.
There are four level designations awarded within the program: bronze, silver, gold and platinum. Individuals receive awards based on their highest skating achievement (test or competition) during high school as noted on their application.
