Who this list is for
This figure skating competition packing list is for skaters preparing to compete at a rink over a weekend. It's meant for athletes who need to keep their personal gear and warm-up supplies organized and ready. If you’re the one competing or packing for a skater, this is for you.
How to use this list
Start packing a day or two before your competition. Lay out each item and check it off as it goes into your bag. Double-check the competition schedule so you know call times and outfit needs. Keep your bag organized so quick changes and warm-ups are easier rinkside.
Common mistakes
Skaters often forget blade towels or spare laces—both can ruin your day if left behind. Don’t assume your costume will survive the whole weekend without a backup piece. Some skip packing enough tights or leggings, or forget hair pins and elastics, which are hard to borrow last-minute.
What is on this list
You’ll need your skates, skate guards, and a blade towel, plus a pair of spare laces. Bring your competition costume and a backup costume piece in case of emergencies. Pack two pairs of tights or leggings, a warm-up jacket and pants, and rink gloves. Don’t overlook hair pins and elastics—they keep your look together on the ice.
Before you go
The night before, lay out each item and check them off. Place smaller items—hair pins, elastics, spare laces—in a pouch so nothing gets lost at the bottom of your bag. Review your competition schedule and set your alarm. On the day, bring your packed bag and do a last-minute check before you head out.
