Our Mission:
The mission of Metro Edge Figure Skating Club is to provide skaters with the opportunity to achieve excellence in skating and competition, to participate in a team spirit of mutual respect and goodwill, to enjoy the time it takes attaining their skating goals.

MEFSC and St. Louis Synergy primarily utilizes as our home rink the Webster Groves Ice Arena, which is part of the City of Webster Groves Recreation Complex in St. Louis, Missouri.  In addition, some synchronized skating practices are held at the Brentwood Ice Rink, Maryville University Hockey Center, Pacific Ice Rink, and St Louis Ice Zone.

WHEN SHOULD YOU JOIN A FIGURE SKATING CLUB?

The information provided below is a general overview on joining figure skating clubs across the country as suggested by the United States Figure Skating Association. For additional details on our club, what benefits, policies, and activities we have, please browse our site and see! For specific questions, please feel free to contact us.

WHY JOIN MEFSC?

The best way to be a part of U.S. Figure Skating is to be a member of a U.S. Figure Skating-affiliated club; in other words, membership in a U.S. Figure Skating member club like Metro Edge Figure Skating Club includes a full membership to U.S. Figure Skating. This membership allows your skater to participate in U.S.F.S. Competitions and also includes a subscription to SKATING magazine.

WHEN SHOULD YOUR CHILD JOIN A FIGURE SKATING CLUB?

You may notice a display or bulletin board at your skating rink with information on joining the skating club affiliated with your ice rink, and you may wonder when your child should join that skating club. Once your child is ready to take official U.S. Figure Skating tests or compete in competitions beyond the Basic Skills level, it is time to join a figure skating club. In other words, in order to take tests and enter competitions beyond the Basic Skills level, a skater must be a FULL member of U.S. Figure Skating.

WHAT ACTIVITIES WILL A SKATING CLUB PROVIDE?

Some skating clubs will have monthly or weekly club sessions. These sessions may just be practice sessions, or may include seminars on different skating disciplines. These sessions may be work or fun sessions. Fun sessions could include food and skating exhibitions or even on-ice games.

Some skating clubs will sanction ice shows, competitions or judging critiques. All clubs will usually sponsor test sessions. Some clubs will provide opportunities for adults to become figure skating judges.

TEST SESSIONS

Some skating clubs will just sponsor monthly or bi-monthly test sessions and not offer any other activities.

In order for your child to take skating tests, he or she must be a FULL member of U.S. Figure Skating. If your child takes a test at a club of which he or she is a member, you will be given a discount on testing fees.

VOLUNTEERING WITH A SKATING CLUB

Skating clubs are run by volunteers. If possible, take the time to volunteer with your child's skating club. Through involvement, you will learn more about skating and, at the same time, you and your child will make skating friends.

CAN YOU BE A MEMBER OF MORE THAN ONE SKATING CLUB? WHY JOIN MORE THAN ONE CLUB?

Skaters must first be a "home club member" of a certain skating club. That is the skating club your child will represent in competitions. However, your child may also join additional skating clubs as an associate member. Associate memberships can be useful if your child needs to take tests, skate on ice time rented by a sponsoring club or participate in a certain club's ice shows or exhibitions.
