Intercollegiate Team Skating
Intercollegiate team skating is a great way to
continue competing in skating in a supportive
environment. These competitions differ from
regular nonqualifying competitions because
though the student-athletes are there to compete and meet new people who share their
love of figure skating, their primary focus is
academics. These competitions are open to
skaters of all levels and disciplines. Intercollegiate team competitions are divided into
three conferences – East, Midwest and Pacific
Coast. Skaters compete at their level and
discipline to earn team points. After each
competition, the top five teams are awarded
points based on placement, and after three
competitions, the three teams in each conference with the greatest number of total points
qualify for the U.S. Intercollegiate Championships.
Don’t have a team at your school? That’s ok.
All it takes is one person from the school to be
able to compete in an intercollegiate team
competition.
U.S. Collegiate Championships
Started in 1986, the U.S. Collegiate Figure
Skating Championships is the longest-running
program for collegiate skaters. This competition is generally held in August and is
for junior and senior-level skaters who are
either enrolled full time, high school graduates enrolled full time for the fall semester
or recent college graduates having finished
in May. The competition rotates around the
United States based on bids received. You
do not have to qualify for this event, other
than passing your junior or senior free skate
test. You do not have to be affiliated with a
collegiate club; however, you will represent
your college at the competition.
This competition is a great way to meet other skaters who have achieved a high level
in skating and also wish to continue to com-
pete in figure skating. The competition could lead to
international opportunities, which vary year to year.
In 2009, U.S. Figure Skating sent Amy Nunn, Jason
Wong, Andrea Best, Trevor Young and the Miami University synchronized skating team to Harbin, China,
for the World University Games. U.S. Figure Skating
also sent a team of collegiate athletes to the Coupe
de Nice competition in France. The International Committee hopes to be able to continue to send collegiate
athletes to international events.
Synchronized skating
Many colleges and universities offer synchronized skating teams in a variety of outlets. U.S. Figure Skating
specifies two levels – collegiate and open collegiate –
as teams for college students only. Additionally, some
schools choose to also field teams at the senior and
junior levels. Collegiate and open collegiate levels are
offered at the three sectional championships – Eastern, Midwestern and Pacific Coast. The top four teams
at the collegiate level move on to participate in the
U.S. Synchronized Skating Championships.
Since the inception of the collegiate division in 1997,
which featured three teams, collegiate synchronized
skating has grown to more than 35 teams across the
country with more forming each year.
U.S. Figure Skating requires that all skaters on a team
at the collegiate level pass their juvenile moves-in-thefield test. There is no moves-in-the field requirement
for the open collegiate division at this time. Other than
those requirements, each team has its own standards
in terms of skating level. Some are basic, and others
require a high level of skating.
Please contact the U.S. Figure
Skating Headquarters at
719.635.5200 with any
collegiate skating questions
you may have. Good luck in
your college search!

Collegiate skating continues to serve as a popular outlet for college-aged
skaters. Graduating from high school does not have to mean graduating from
figure skating. Once enrolled in college as a full-time student, U.S. Figure
Skating offers athletes many opportunities to participate in special programs
geared toward the student-athlete. A variety of skaters are represented in the
collegiate program. Some have been skating since they were young, others
learn to skate in college, and yet others return to skating after a long absence
from the sport. Regardless of level or experience, collegiate programs offer
skaters a great opportunity to make friends
with shared interests, assimilate to a new life
