2022-2023 Season Wrap-Up

Lessons Can Only Be Scheduled According to Rink Availability

Lessons can only be scheduled when the rink has an appropriate session. The days and times that may work best for you may not be offered by the rink. Likewise, the popular times, after work/school, and weekends are often booked well in advance by other skaters.


If you have difficulty finding a time that works best for your schedule, please consider registering to join the waitlist. Skaters on the waitlist receive priority to book lessons when there is a cancellation.

Coaches are Independent Contractors & Not Employed By The Rinks

Coaches pay for their own memberships, required certifications, liability insurance, health insurance, background checks, annual credentials, and operating expenses.


The rinks charge coaches fees as a "commission" for the use of the facility.


At rinks, where the facility collects coach professional fees, coaches are paid after the rink subtracts 15-20% of the fee you pay. Often, it takes several weeks after the close of the payment period for coaches to receive 80-85% of your payment. 

This varies from rink to rink.


Coaches do not receive any sales commission on any of your purchases at the rink!

Thinking of Changing or Adding Another Coach?

First, Have a Discussion With Your Current Coach!

First, Have a Discussion With Your Current Coach!

First, Have a Discussion With Your Current Coach!

Explain your reasons for wanting to switch or add additional coaches.


If you are moving to another coach, make sure you have paid the current coach in full.


If you are adding an additional coach, ensure the current coach agrees and that the coaches will communicate with each other.

The new coach will contact the previous coach.

First, Have a Discussion With Your Current Coach!

Professional coaches will always consult with the previous coach as a courtesy to make sure that they have had a discussion and that they have received all payments due.


Techniques may vary from coach to coach. If the new coach is an addition to the coaching team, it is critical that coaches are in agreement and have open lines of communication. 

Treat all coaches with respect.

First, Have a Discussion With Your Current Coach!

Treat all coaches with respect.

The right coach for you may differ from what works well for another. 


Always keep your comments about any coach complimentary. 


Do not make unsolicited comments encouraging another skater to make a change.

"Teaching skills and helping skaters reach their potential should never cost that skater’s love for the sport.

Coaches have an obligation to help foster the love of skating that their skaters started with.

Skaters are human and deserve to be given the opportunity to love skating forever."

"I want a coach that understands that what worked for them while they were competing might not work the same way for me and that there are different ways to accomplish success in skating."

"How you measure success is EVERYTHING. What do you look for in a successful coach? Competition results? Or do you look for more?"

Choosing Your Coach:

What Every Skater & Parent Should Know!

Private lessons can be a great, beneficial way to help you progress in figure skating. 


A coach’s role is to help athletes improve their performance and reach their full potential by teaching, monitoring, and motivating them. 


Good coaches are made, not born. Whether they are at the elite or beginner level, it takes time, education, dedication, and training to become a successful coach. 


The best coach is one who is knowledgeable about the sport, listens to the athletes, understands and responds to their needs, gives them a sense of self-worth, and helps them develop and enjoy the sport. 


This guide is a resource to help you find the right coach that fits your needs and outlines what makes a good coach.
