SELECTING A COACH

CONGRATULATIONS on your decision to enhance your skating career with private instruction. Please use this guide to assist you in making a coaching selection that you and your skater will be happy with for years to come.

First, watch the coach teach lessons
Then inquire with the coach if he/she is accepting new students
Ask about their coaching philosophy
Is the coach PSA rated or ranked?
How do they stay current with the sport & profession of coaching?
Do you share the same philosophy?
How will the skater and coach’s personality match?
Schedule a few try-out lessons with the coach

Please contact the coach directly to schedule a private lesson.
