Overview
Yale Collegiate Figure Skating Club gives students the perfect opportunity to combine an excellent education with their desire to keep skating in college. Do you want to study with John Gaddis, Joan Steitz, Robert Shiller, and other distinguished professors? Do you also want to keep skating? Then Yale is the place for you!
The club, which is entirely student run, offers its members 2 hours of ice time per week at our beautiful on-campus rink, Ingalls Rink. The skating season runs from September through March.
Club members vary from brand new skaters to the Senior level. While it is difficult to characterize a “typical” member of our club, the three things we share in common are a love of skating, a desire for a great education and the friendships we have formed through the club, both on and off the ice.
Frequently Asked Questions
What are your skaters like?
Our skaters range in ability from beginners to Senior level skaters. They are involved in lots of other activities on campus, and we represent all majors, class years, and parts of the world.
Is figure skating a varsity sport at Yale?
No, we are a club sport. This essentially means that we receive limited funding from the University, no subsidized coaching, and we cannot really help you get in to the University.
Do you offer scholarships?
No, Yale does not offer any athletic scholarships for any sports, varsity or club. All financial aid is need-based. In other words, if you are accepted for admission, they’ll do everything they can to come up with a financial aid package (grants, loans, student works plans) that meets your family’s needs.
