Figure Skating
Figure skating programming is offered beginning at Basic 3/Adult 3 skill levels up through Senior/Gold levels of U.S. Figure Skating testing for youth and adults.
For new skaters, the best place to start is the Learn to Skate (LTS) program to build a foundation of skills first. Next steps include Figure Skating Programming and joining the Bowling Green Skate Club (BGSC) as a great way to get involved and stay up to date with the latest activities and events offered to figure skaters. There is also a Bowling Green State University Figure Skating Club for college students wishing to continue skating either recreational or competitively.
