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.
