The Ice Skating Instute (formerly the Ice Skating Institute of America) is a trade association for ice rinks, and also an international governing body for recreational figure skating. It was founded in 1959, in order to promote skating as a recreational activity, and to that end has developed a program of tests and competitions in all areas of figure skating, as well as limited areas of speed skating and hockey, independent of the corresponding "serious" tests and competitions, and covering a broader range of skills, from "Tot" levels to advanced tests that would provide interesting challenges even to Olympic medalists.
