Figure Skating Coach

ggI've been a certified Skate Canada Coach since 1992 and have been a Minto club coach since 19XX. I've coached skaters of all ages and all levels (see below for more specifics). I work with skaters individually and in small groups. This allows skaters to get the individual attention they require but also gives them the opportunity to work together which helps them stay engaged in the sport and connected with other like-minded athletes.
