The United States Figure Skating Association (USFSA) is the association which organises and sanctions local, national, world, and Olympic Track competitive figure skating in the United States. The USFSA is a member of the International Skating Union (ISU) which organises competitive skating internationally, and the United States Olympic Committee (USOC) which organises US Olympic efforts for all sports. The USFSA provides the backbone structure which provides consistency in the efforts of its Member Clubs throughout the nation. The Association provides technical and administrative support for those clubs and their skaters. The USFSA defines a rational Test structure for developing competitive figure skaters, and a Competitions system which permits them to display their talents. The USFSA trains and develops the Judges which evaluate skater's performance on a local, national, and international basis. The USFSA is headquartered in Colorado Springs. Research USFSA
