The mission of the Wheeling Skate Club is to promote the sport of figure skating by providing quality ice time and group instruction as guided by US Figure Skating and to cultivate a spirit of fraternity among ice skaters.
We offer beginning and advanced skating lessons for ages 3+.
Our club skating season is October - March. Sign-ups start in September and typically run for approximately 3 weeks after the start of the season. Sign-ups will reopen at the start of the year for anyone interested in a winter-only session.

Symphony on Ice is a US Figure Skating-sanctioned show held in Wheeling, WV each holiday season. Wheeling Skate Club skaters have the opportunity to be part of Symphony on Ice after they have passed Basic Level 2. Eligible skaters are notified at the end of each WSC season. Skaters must be members of the club and enrolled in a lesson package to skate in SOI. An organizational meeting for Symphony on Ice skaters is typically held in August, and practices begin in September. The show is held at Wesbanco Arena, typically held in early December.
