AFSC Membership

​Membership

​At the Ames Figure Skating Club, we believe in the magic of ice, the thrill of the glide, and the joy of movement. Whether you’re a novice taking your first steps on the ice or a seasoned skater aiming for your next big goal, our membership offers an exceptional experience for all ages and skill levels.

Becoming a member of AFSC enables a skater to participate in U.S Figure Skating events, including competitions and test sessions. Skaters can participate in all AFSC sponsored events, such as the annual Spring Show, Holiday Gala, and MORE! Members have access to purchase club ice. This ice time is designated for private lessons, small group lessons, and individual practice. Lastly, you will be able to share in the sport of figure skating with others and form lifelong friendships.
