Figure skating in the U.S. can be either competitive or recreational, and those learning to skate can choose either route. While competitive skaters are required to participate in the U.S. testing structure to eventually compete in qualifying competitions, recreational skaters can also opt to take tests in order to continually challenge themselves and their abilities.

The official tests of U.S. Figure Skating may be taken by all figure skaters who are members of a member club or collegiate club, individual members who are currently registered with U.S. Figure Skating and are otherwise qualified under these rules, as well as by members of a member association of the ISU.

The Hershey Figure Skating Club will be hosting several Virtual Test Sessions throughout the year: 

Videos are due on the following dates:

- November 1st, 2023 (Register by Oct 27th)

- January 15th, 2024

- April 1st, 2024
