Welcome to the Northwoods Figure Skating Club!
August 2026
Hi NFSC Families,
It’s hard to believe but it’s time to look forward to Fall Figure Skating Registration! Registration is now open following this link:
Registration Link: https://www.gomotionapp.com/team/winfsc/controller/cms/admin/index#/classreg-shopping
Registration will close on August 31st. If you do not sign-up by that date, but your skater still wishes to skate in September, you will be assessed a $50 late fee. We’re using the go motion app again this year. If you did not register for the summer session, you will need to also purchase a membership, as well as the lesson fee. Please make sure to either sign up your skater for Basic Skills (Snow Plow-Basic 6) or Free Skate (Pre-Free through Free Skate 6). The basic membership is $37. This fee is waived for first year skaters. If your skater is planning on testing levels outside of our club at anytime this season, they will need the Free Style Membership ($73). Please reach out with any questions.
The Rice Lake schedule will start on Sunday, September 13th. Basic Skills: 5-6pm, Free Skate: 6-7pm, and Punch Card Ice 7-8pm. If you are interested in having your skater take private lessons during their practice time or during punch card ice, please respond so we can work on the coaching schedule. The Fall Session will go through Sunday, October 25th. The second session will start on Sunday, Nov. 1st. We’re hopeful Cumberland will start skating on Monday nights on Nov. 2nd, but more to come on that.
We’re planning to hold a short parent meeting the first night of lessons at 5:30pm for Basic Skills and 6:30pm for Free Skate. Please make a point to attend.
Our Show will be the weekend of March 20th-21st, 2027. Mark your calendars and hope for a snow free weekend!
We’re excited to announce a scholarship program for our graduating seniors. The scholarship program will be available to all senior skaters that meet the specified criteria. Our board feels strongly about the time and effort these skaters put forth year after year, helping to make our club successful and serving as role models for our younger skaters. We’re excited to be able to award them for their efforts in a way that assists them in pursuing advanced education beyond high school in the amount of $500 per scholarship. Please respond to request more information on the scholarship program.
For those skaters participating in the Summer Session, this is the last week. Enjoy the rest of your summer and we’ll see you on September 13th!
Thank you,
Hilary Butzler

The Northwoods Figure Skating Club (NFSC) is a non-profit, non-stock incorporated organization whose purpose is to encourage instruction, practice and advancement of its members in all types of figure skating and basic hockey skating concepts. NFSC was founded in 1989 and skates at the Cumberland and Rice Lake Hockey Arenas.
NFSC is an official member of the United States Figure Skating Association (USFSA), the governing body of amateur skating in the United States. This association entitles the local skaters to conduct and participate in official USFSA test sessions, competitions and ice shows.
Along with taking lessons with NFSC, many of our skaters participate in USFSA testing and competitions. Our Free Style skaters have a strong presence at the Northland Competition in Duluth, Roseville Competition, Maplewood Classic, Eau Claire Competition and many more!
NFSC accepts skaters throughout the year. Our club consists of all skill levels from ages 4 and up. We are always looking to grow our participation in the club. Questions regarding the NFSC can be directed to info@northwoodsfsc.com.
