About Us

The “Desert Ice Skating Club Of Arizona” (DISCOA), was formed in July of 2006 and became a provisional Club of U.S. Figure Skating in April of 2007.  In August of 2007, we were granted our 501©(3) status by the IRS.  We are now an official USFS club!

DISCOA provides club ice time to our members each month, offers test sessions judged by USFS certified judges, and provides and encourages opportunities to participate in competitions.  In the past we have hosted “Arizona Ice Classic” in February to kick off the new season.  We are excited to announce that beginning in 2011,
“Arizona Ice Classic” will be held August 11 through August 13, 2011.

In addition to “Arizona Ice Classic,” our members offer assistance and support to the ‘Desert Breeze” competition at Polar Ice Chandler. We have a phenomenal group of volunteers without whom none of this would be possible.

 
The ultimate goal and purpose of “DISCOA” is to cultivate and develop a spirit of mutual respect and support among ice skaters, both competitive and recreational, of all ages and abilities.

Polar Ice Chandler is located in Chandler, Arizona and is the home of the
Desert Ice Skating Club of Arizona.
