Philadelphia Skating Club and Humane Society

Philadelphia Skating Club and Humane Society America's first skating club. Skate with our excellent coaches and enjoy plentiful ice in a friendly atmosphere in Ardmore, PA, 20 mins. from Philadelphia.

At the Philadelphia Skating Club and Humane Society, America’s first skating club, our mission is to preserve and promote the sport, art and history of figure skating for recreation and competition. People come to the PSCHS to skate and they stay because of our excellent coaches and staff, fantastic and plentiful ice, friendly atmosphere, and convenient location in a club-owned, year round facility in Philadelphia’s Main Line suburb of Ardmore just 20 minutes from Philadelphia. Our welcoming environment, comprehensive on- and off-ice skating programs and fun social events promote camaraderie, sportsmanship, health and fitness for children and adults at all skill levels. Our rink is unique because it is truly geared for figure skating with high quality ice, abundant natural light, a wall of mirrors, no boards and no hockey teams. Come and skate with us, watch your favorite skaters from our warm lounges, or check out our fully stocked skate shop and skate sharpening services. PSCHS has something for everyone, old or young, experienced or beginner. Unlike a regular club, our rink is owned by our members and many of our activities are solely dedicated to their enjoyment and advancement. In these days of constant scheduling and stress, there is no better place for family fun and fitness, recreation, exercise, camaraderie, competitions, exhibitions, tests, camps, Special Olympics, and much more. Join us! Member, US Figure Skating Association.

Want to skate, but not sure where to start?

Maybe your child has never stepped on the ice. Maybe they’ve finished Learn to Skate and you’re wondering what comes next. Or maybe you’ve been thinking about getting back on the ice yourself.

We spent Saturday at Bryn Mawr Day talking with families, adults and future skaters about all the ways to get on the ice at the Philadelphia Skating Club & Humane Society — from Learn to Skate and public skating to adult skating and membership.

A big thank you to all of our volunteers who spent part of their Saturday helping us spread the word about skating and our club!

There’s a place on the ice for you.

A skating legacy 177 years in the making doesn’t continue on history alone. It takes a community.

On October 10, we’ll come together for Legacy in Motion, PSCHS’s 3rd Annual Fundraising Gala—a special evening of skating with an important purpose.

One ticket includes the full Gala experience—an extraordinary skating exhibition, food and cocktails, silent auction, raffle prizes and more.

Funds raised through the Gala help support our historic rink, our skating programs, and the next generation of skaters who will call PSCHS home.

And what an evening it will be! Join us for performances by Bradie Tennell; Oona & Gage Brown; Caroline & Brendan Mullen; Emmanuel Savary and more.

Your ticket is more than admission to a memorable evening. It helps keep our skating legacy in motion.

Saturday, October 10 | 6 PM
Tickets on sale now through September 30.

Our officials have been busy this summer!

We’re proud of the many PSCHS members who give back to figure skating as U.S. Figure Skating officials!

From Cardinal Classic and Chesapeake Open to Skate Wilmington, the Excel Final and Festival, Lake Placid Dance Championship, Cranberry Open, Philadelphia Summer Championships, Potomac Memorial Open and more, PSCHS members who serve as U.S. Figure Skating officials have been giving their time, expertise and countless hours behind the scenes to support competitions throughout the region and beyond.

A big thank you to Laura Mitchell, Susan Miller, Michelle Marvin, Ann O’Keefe, Andrea Isaacson, Bob Horen, Mike Wolek, Joanne N, Andrea Plasky, Deborah Spence, Beth Delano, Carrie Bacasa, Melanie Boerner and Karen Farinella for their service to the figure skating community this summer.

And a very special shout-out to Bob Horen, who was honored by U.S. Figure Skating for an incredible 50 years of judging! What an amazing milestone—and an extraordinary commitment to the sport.

We’re also proud to recognize Michelle Marvin, who was appointed National Dance Referee, and Ann O’Keefe, who was selected to serve on U.S. Figure Skating’s Nominating Committee, representing the Eastern Section.

PSCHS is proud to have so many members who dedicate their time, knowledge and expertise to serving the greater figure skating community. Many have devoted decades to officiating, continually advancing their training and giving back to the sport.

Thank you to all of our officials for everything you do behind the scenes to help make competitive figure skating possible!
