COACHING STAFF at both SSPR <strong>Ice</strong> <strong>Arena</strong>s<br />
If a coach is a Double Gold Medalist, it means the coach has tested in the US <strong>and</strong> Canada.<br />
If a coach has a Master Rating, it means the coach either has passed all the tests or has coached skaters through<br />
all the tests in that area <strong>and</strong> has passed an oral exam given by a panel of expert coaches from across the United<br />
States pertaining to knowledge <strong>and</strong> ability to teach. The coach may achieve these ratings in Figures, Freestyle,<br />
Moves in the Field, Dance, Free Dance, Pairs, Precision Group Teaching, Choreography <strong>and</strong> Program<br />
Administration. The highest level of rating is Master, then Senior, then Certified, <strong>and</strong> finally Registered.<br />
A PSA Basic Accredited Coach means they have passed the entry level written exam. All figure skating staff<br />
coaches must be members of the Professional Skaters Association (PSA) in order to work here.<br />
It is important to select a coach who will blend in well with you <strong>and</strong> your child’s personality. A coach’s lesson<br />
rate is based on the coach’s qualifications <strong>and</strong> teaching experience. Private lesson tickets may be purchased at<br />
the <strong>Ice</strong> <strong>Arena</strong> office. Lessons may be 15, 20, or 30 minutes up to an hour in length..<br />
In addition, students must pay the general admission fee, if the lesson is to be given during a public session. The<br />
coach can recommend an amount of lesson time based on the amount of time the student skates, ability,<br />
aspirations <strong>and</strong>, above all, the family budget. Watch the coaches teach, read this booklet, <strong>and</strong> if you still need<br />
help making a decision, contact Gerry Lane, Director of Skating at 303-798-7881, ext. 304.<br />
