SMFSC Coaches

All SMFSC coaches are contracted by the Club to coach group lessons on our CanSkate and PreStar StarSkate sessions, as well as Stroking for STARSkate/Competitive sessions.

Coaches are self-employed and set their own hours and fees.  Skaters must keep their account up to date with their coach and if the payment terms are exceeded the coach has the ability to make arrangements for the skater not to be able to participate in any club activities (including assessments) until the skaters account with a coach is up to date.    

All PreStar skaters and STARSkaters must have made arrangements for private lessons from one of SMFSC's coaches. For more details on how to find a coach for your skater, and how to work with a coach, please see the STARSkate Coaches page.

CanSkaters can also arrange to have their skater work directly with an individual coach for private lessons during the set up period on a few of our CanSkate sessions on Mondays, Tuesdays or Wednesdays.

Please contact our Coaches directly to find out their availability on your preferred sessions. Below is a complete listing of all coaches and their contact information or download this informationas a PDF
