SMSC Coaches
All SMSC coaches are contracted by the Club to coach group lessons on our CanSkate and Pre-Star StarSkate sessions, as well as Stroking for STARSkate/Competitive sessions.
Coaches are self-employed and set their own hours and fees. If a skater has exceeded the terms of payment and an unacceptable past due payment has not been met the coach may decide that a skater may not test until they have paid their coaches bill.
All Pre-Star Skaters and STARSkaters must have made arrangements for private lessons from one of SMSC's coaches.
CanSkaters can also arrange to have their skater work directly with an individual coach for private lessons during the warm-up period of CanSkate sessions.
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.
