Does My Skater Need a Coach?
- The Hutchinson Parks and Recreation (PRCE) skating program is focused on introducing new skaters to the sport of figure skating and is setup for instructor-lead group lessons to learn the fundamental skills in Alpha, Beta, Gamma, and Delta skating levels.
- Once a skater completes the PRCE program and joins HFSA as a free style 1 skater, HFSA continues to provide weekly group lessons for free style 1, 2, and 3 levels.
- Once a skater has progressed into free style level 3, it’s time to identify a coach that you can work with going forward into free style level 4. Many skaters already begin working with a coach earlier - it’s your choice. Free style level 4 and above leverage focused 1 on 1 skating lessons from your coach.
How Often Should I Train with My Coach?
Most skaters train with their coach at least once a week and many do twice a week. Skaters should register for practice ice time (reference the calendar and registration information) and contact the coach of your choice who will subsequently do a 15 minute coaching session during your practice ice time. Coaching rates will vary by coach but you can expect ~$10 fee for each 15 minute coaching session. The coach will bill the skater directly.
