Private Lessons

Private Lessons

Looking to enhance your learning experience? Fill out one of our Private Lesson Request Forms located in the Pro Shop and take a private lesson with one of our valued instructors. These lessons are a great way to help your skater focus on and improve skills that might be giving them trouble or to achieve and enhance the skills they already know.

Our instructors are highly qualified in their field. Our facility is a member of the "Excellence on Ice" program with the Professional Skaters Association (PSA).

Tips on Finding the Right Coach

There are many factors involved in selecting a coach. Things to consider are personality, learning and teaching styles, and experience. You know your child and have the best idea of who might make a good fit. Keep your child's personality and needs in mind when interviewing and selecting a coach.

Here are some helpful questions to consider:

  • Will the coach be a good role model and instill healthy character traits?
  • Will the coach treat my child politely and with enthusiasm?
  • Does the coach possess and demonstrate a good standard of ethics?
  • Does the coach understand and adhere to safety considerations at all times?
  • Is the coach a member of U.S. Figure Skating and the Professional Skaters Association (all of our private coaches are required to be members of both)?
  • Does the coach have PSA ratings or rankings and have they attended a recent PSA/USFS workshop or seminar, do they continue their education and training?
  • Does the coach have a specific plan to teach the appropriate technical skills?
