NEW TO SKATING?
Start with beginner lessons.
South Dayton FSC does not currently operate a Learn to Skate program. Brand-new skaters should usually begin with a local beginner group lesson program.
When a skater can move safely on the ice and wants more practice time, private coaching, shows, testing, or a club community, SDFSC may be the right next step.

More Ice Time

A Place to Belong
Skating can be an individual sport, but no skater should feel alone.
Performance Opportunities
When scheduled, members may participate in recitals, ice shows, and other club programs.
Testing Support
The club helps members find and prepare for U.S. Figure Skating test opportunities.
Competition Representation
Eligible skaters may represent South Dayton FSC at competitions and skating events.
Celebration and Community
Club activities give skaters opportunities to celebrate progress, effort, and achievement.
TWO EASY WAYS TO CONNECT
Start with the option that fits your family.
