New to Skating?

Welcome! Starting figure skating can feel a little overwhelming at first. You may be wondering where to begin, how lessons work, whether you need a coach, or what the difference is between the rink and the skating club. The good news is that you don't have to figure it out alone.

The Greenville Figure Skating Club is here to help guide you through the process. Below, we've outlined the roles of the Pavilion Recreation Complex, skating coaches, and our club, along with the typical pathway from a beginner skater to a U.S. Figure Skating club member.

Whether your goal is to skate for fun, perform in shows, compete, or simply learn a new skill, every skater begins with the same first step—and we're excited to welcome you to the skating community!
