Coaches
All Coaches need to meet these requirements from USFSA:
- U.S. Figure Skating Full Membership (either through a member club or as an individual)
- Successfully pass the annual background screen and Safe Sport training.
- Verification of current coach liability insurance
- Completion of CER Courses
- Additional requirement - PSA Membership if coaching in qualifying competitions only
One of the most important things for Coaches to have handy, is the current years program requirements. This is 2021-2022 sheets that go into effect July 1, 2018 if no other changes are made in June.

Coaches - help your Club Board know what is needed to be successful in training at your rink. Be present at Board Meetings. Help talk to parent about volunteering, and being present in their child's sport. Let families know about other ways of assisting in figure skating, maybe a parent would like to learn how to judge. Talk to your skaters about life after their competitive years. Encourage teens of "Club's Junior Board". This allows skaters to learn how things are changed and grown. Junior Board also lets them have a say in their sport.
