RFSC Learn2Skate Program
The Rochester Figure Skating Club has been a mainstay in the Rochester, Minnesota Community for more than 75 years. The Learn2Skate program is the foundation of our extensive instructional curriculum, sanctioned by US Figure Skating.
Our Learn2Skate and Learn2Skate for Hockey classes are welcoming and nurturing environments geared to share the fun and fundamentals of skating. All of our coaches are certified by the Professional Skaters Association (PSA) and we utilize the U.S. Figure Skating Snowplow Sam and Basic Skills programs for our instruction.
Registration fees for figure skating classes include a U.S. Figure Skating Basic Skills Membership. This includes a test booklet, colorful badges for each level completed and of copy of US Figure Skating's Skating Magazine – Basic Skills Edition.

About Us
Philosophy:
Rochester Figure Skating Club (RFSC) is a community-based club and its success is a reflection of our dedicated skaters, volunteers and coaches.
The RFSC mission is to foster, promote, improve and encourage the sport of figure skating among youth under 18 years of age in the State of Minnesota. The RFSC will encourage and facilitate youth participation in regional, sectional, national and international figure skating competitions. The RFSC does not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, sex, age, gender or national origin.
RFSC strives to provide a positive experience for skaters and coaches who have the desire and commitment to excel in the field of skating. Our goal is to make it fun and instill in our young skaters a lifelong passion for the sport.
The Club is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. As an affiliate of U.S. Figure Skating we offer a variety of classes and programs for those just learning to skate–children and adults–as well as those interested in competitive, artistic, team, or casual skating. We also offer hockey skating classes and classes for skaters with learning disabilities. Skaters advance from this program to our contract skating programs.
Rochester Figure Skating Club is an “Excellence on Ice” skating club, as designated by the Professional Skaters Association (PSA). This is a national recognition as a progressive training facility dedicated to excellence in coaching both on and off the ice.
