UNDERSTANDING PRIVATE INSTRUCTION
Coaches are Independent Contractors
Private lessons can be beneficial to all skaters regardless of their age and skating level as these are one on one instruction time. Lessons can
be weekly or bi-weekly that you and your selected coach have committed to. You want to progress faster than other’s for basic skills, test, participate in competitions, freestyle, moves in the field, ice dance,
power skating, synchronized skating and ice hockey is available.
The agreement you enter into with a coach for private instruction is between you and the coach of your choice for ongoing lessons
Please consult the coach regarding his/her policy for cancelled or rescheduling of lessons
Make sure you and the lesson coach exchange all contact information
Contact your lesson coach directly when needing to cancel your scheduled lesson. Skate Frederick and its staff are not responsible for parent/coach communications.
Skate Frederick and its staff are not responsible for rescheduling private lessons.
Booster lessons unlike private lessons are great to boost your confidence and are non-recurring. Booster lessons can be any length of time that the parent and the coach feel appropriate to meet the skater’s needs. Afterwards, if you would like to continue with regular scheduled
private lessons, please discuss this with the coach.
Schedule Booster Lesson if:
Your child needs some help to maintain progress in group lessons
Your child is close to passing a particular Basic Skill class but not quite there for the next session enrollment
Your child is progressing faster than the rest of the group lesson class and can complete skill requirements early
Your child would benefit from individual attention to a particular skill
Your child is coming to a birthday party and has never skated
Your child’s group lesson coach made a recommendation for a booster lesson.
All private or booster lesson payments are to be processed in the Pro Shop and not directly to the coach. The Pro Shop
will give you a copy of the receipt for the coach.
Payment includes:
Coaches lesson rate * Ice fee (Public or Freestyle)
Rental Skates if needed ($3)
Taking your skating to the next level can
be a whole new beginning.
CONGRATULATIONS on your decision to enhance your skating career with private instruction. Finding a coach can be an overwhelming and
intimidating experience, these feelings are certainly understandable. Please use this guide to assist you in making a coaching selection that you and your
child will be happy with for years to come.
First, watch the coach teach his/her lessons
Then inquire with the coach if he/she is accepting new students
Ask about their coaching philosophy
Do you share the same philosophy
Is the coach PSA rated or ranked
How do they stay current with the sport & profession of coaching
How will the skater and coaches personality match
Schedule a few try out lessons with the coach
Proper procedure if you feel a coaching change is in the best interest of your child.
PARENTS:
Contact your current coach and express your reasons for wanting to switch to another coach. There may be a way to correct the situation and the need to switch could be resolved before a change is necessary.
Discuss this possible change with your child. Make sure he/she is comfortable with the changes you are about to make
Once the decision to change has been made, make sure that you have paid your account balance in full with your current coach
Respect what the former coach has done for your skater. Degrading the former coach will get you no where with other skating parents.
Before any lessons begin with the new coach, the new coach must confirm with the former coach that these steps have been followed.
SKATERS:
Switching coaches should not affect the skater’s relationship with other skaters or coaches
Respect what the former coach has done for you and your skating. Degrading the former coach will get you no where with other skaters.
Do not isolate or make an outcast of any skater who has switched from your coach to another coach
Do not encourage others to switch from their current coach
NEW COACH:
Instruct the new parent to first make contact with the former coach
Contact the former coach to make sure there is no possible resolution to the situation
Confirm with the former coach that all outstanding balances are paid in full prior to scheduling any lessons.
NO lessons should be given prior to receiving confirmation from former coach.
Respect what the former coach has done for the skater
To schedule a private or booster lesson, please contact the coach of your choice directly.
Any questions prior to selecting a coach, contact Kelly
