Competitions

Compete USA Series

Competition is a central component of U.S. Figure Skating‘s development platform for skaters of all levels. Compete USA events promote a fun, introductory competition experience for the beginner skater. By engaging with peers in a competitive environment, skaters develop lifelong skills like resilience, competitive spirit and cooperation, which hold value both on and off the ice.
