Raising champions since 1961
Called at that time the Bondi Junction Ice Dance and Figure Skating Club, the Club changed its name to the Sydney Figure Skating Club when it moved to the newly opened Burwood Glaciarium in 1964.
Over nearly 50 years, the Club has had many members who have gone on to represent Australia at international, World and Winter Olympic events.
A huge congratulations to all our SFSC skaters competing at the NSW State Figure Skating Championships at Hunter Ice Skating Stadium over the weekend!
We thank all skaters and parents for their understanding in keeping to the COVID-19 Safe guidelines, allowing the event to go ahead with minimal health risks to all those involved.
