About Us

Ice Skating Club of Bendigo has been formed for approximately 18years. This club is made up of Mums and Dads of figure skaters. (past and present) along with our network of friends and supporters. We welcome and respect volunteers.

The club's mission is to promote figure skating in all areas, support all participating skaters, fundraise to help sponsor national & international aspiring skaters, to provide competitions, fun days, camps and further enhancements for figure skaters.

We support our coaches, to provide top level coaching to all levels of skaters.

We are affiliated with the Victorian Governing body –Ice Skating Victoria (ISV) who are controlled by Ice Skating Australia (ISA).

The club provides insurance for all training sessions and competitions within and outside of Bendigo.

We provide training days and camps that you will be included in, where you may receive training in dance, strengthening & fitness coaching, martial arts, nutrition etc.

ISCB runs all Bendigo competitions and often the Victorian State Championships. We apply for many grants to help improve and promote the sport.

A Newsletter is produced by the club keeping everyone informed of future events , competition results etc.

ISCB organises the sale of stocking tights, second hand boots and some costumes.

There is a wealth of knowledge and experience within the club to share so please feel free to ask any club executive or member.

If you are interested in becoming a club member please talk to a committee member.

Our coming year will be a positive one with all the growing excitement of the opening of the brand new ice sports facility at the Docklands which is fast approaching. This will be excellent for ice sports in not only Victoria, but also in regional and interstate ice circles. The Icehouse opening will coincide with the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver and be ready to meet the renewed interest in ice sports that the Winter Olypmpics always generates. With the Olympic Winter Institute taking residence at the Icehouse and a facility capable of hosting international competition, Victoria will be resurrected as the ice sports capital of Australia. With development then going to the regional Victoria, we anticipate (fingers crossed and doing our darndest to make it happen) that Bendigo will be the first location for a redevelopment assessment. Our biggest challenges will be to maintain the present Bendigo ice rink despite equipment and climatic impact, while recruiting to our sports and strengthening our club. With a hot summer it could be a tough season and no doubt will will once again have to keep reminding ourelves that we are all here for the same purpose; to keep our beloved ice as long as it takes until we can take residence in a brand new Bendigo Ice Sports Rink! Good luck for our next year and let's make it another gr8 year
