The Oswego Figure Skating Club


The Oswego Figure Skating Club, Inc. is a figure skating organization sanctioned by the United States Figure Skating Association (USFSA). The rules and format we follow in the Club are those outlined in the official rule book of the USFSA. It must be understood that the rules we abide by in this club are the rules which govern the sport of figure skating on ice. By following this format we are benefiting from the informational material gathered through the world since the birth of the sport .

The ice arena at the Golden Romney Field House opened in the fall of 1964 and ushered in a new recreational outlet for townspeople and students in the greater Oswego area. During the 1964 - 1965 skating season a number of people talked about the possibility of organizing a skating club, but it took the initiative of Mrs. Barbara Wells to move the project forward. She opened her home for organizational meetings in April of 1964 and by September the Oswego Figure Skating Club was accepting memberships .Probationary membership was granted by the United States Figure Skating Association in 1965 and full membership was achieved in 1966. Additionally, the club became an incorporated body on January 28, 1969, under the Membership Corporation Law of the State of New York.

The Oswego Figure Skating Club currently has approximately 120 members. Of these, approximately 70 are full club members taking private lessons and approximately 50 are taking Basic Skills or Learn-to-Skate or group lessons. The club has been represented at National, Sectional, Regional and many local competitions and is proud of the many successes our skaters have achieved
