Why are there different levels of membership?
The United States Figure Skating Association (USFSA) developed a Basic Skills program called “Learn-to-Skate.” This membership category includes eight levels that allow you to develop basic skating skills, whether your goal is figure or hockey skating. Each level has a set of elements, skating steps or techniques that build on one another. There is a separate membership for children and adults in basic skills that also include a transitional group to higher US Skating levels for tests and competitions. Once a skater passes through basic skills (by ability) and reaches the pre-preliminary level of US Skating (start of the “Standard” test or competitive track), they must be a full member of North Jersey FSC and US Skating. NJFSC suggests family memberships as the best vailue to you, it registers Skater, Mom, Dad and one more family member or skater.
