Don’t let our name fool you!
The Detroit Metro Skating Council is an Interclub Council for Figure Skating Clubs within the State of Michigan. All USFS member clubs within the State are eligible to apply. By joining, you will be able to leverage assistance and guidance from other member clubs within the State of Michigan and help set and accomplish goals within the Detroit Metro Skating Council’s charter. Each clubs delegate participates in defining the direction and activities of the council; it is important for delegates to attend meetings and guide the direction of the council. We meet monthly, typically the first Monday of the month, at 7:30 p.m. at the Detroit Skating Club. Until further notice, meetings will be held via Zoom.
What does the Detroit Metro Skating Council do?
