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 of your choice DIRECTLY TO SCHEDULE A PRIVATE LESSON
