WHY SHOULD I JOIN?             As a parent or guardian of a skater, you may wonder — why should my skater join the Springfield Figure Skating Club? Is my skater ready? How much will it cost? We hope that this information will help answer many of your questions!             When you become a member of the Springfield Figure Skating Club, you will be able to take advantage of club ice times to practice your skills.  Additionally, you will be able to skate in a friendly atmosphere, where club members cheer each other on for their accomplishments.  Members of the club enjoy both the sport of figure skating and spending time with other skaters of all ages and abilities who love to skate.   You will be able to participate in exhibitions, tests, competitions, seminars, parties, and be able to participate in our annual “Spotlight On Ice” show.  While many of our members choose to compete, competition is not a requirement!
