The Tampa Bay Skating Club was established in 1987. When the Tampa Bay Skating Academy rink opened in Oldsmar in Spring 1992, we moved into our primary home. Since then, we have expanded to include members at our associate rink, the TBSA/Westfield Mall Countryside in Clearwater.

We currently have 246 members (includes skating members, parent members, coaches, and judges/officials).

The club holds several test sessions a year as well as our annual summer competition, the Orange Blossom Open, held each August since 1992. This competition brings in an average of 150-200 competitors each year and in 1997 was part of the non-qualifying events for South Atlantics.

We have hosted the 1992 and 1997 South Atlantic Regional championships, the 1998 Eastern Sectional Championships, and in March 1999, the Precision (now called Synchronized Skating) Nationals. In May 1996, we hosted a USFSA regional training camp and held a second training camp in August 2000.

We are fortunate to have top level coaches and choreographers, some of whom are former world, international and Olympic competitors such as Jim Millns, Petr Barna, Andrea Barnova and Pauline Williams Gasparini.

We are proud of our skating members and have been well represented at Regionals, Sectionals and U.S. Nationals. Tampa Bay Skating Club has had skaters compete at U.S. Nationals and Junior Nationals since 1996 including the 1996 Novice Pairs Champions Brandi Seabol and Cheyne Coppage and 1998 Junior Pairs Pewter medalists Tiffany Sfikas and Josiah Modes.

If you are ever visiting the Tampa Bay area, we cordially invite you to visit and SKATE WITH US! For further information, please call the club office at 813-854-4019 and leave a message.
