Policies & Expectations

These are my policies and expectations. These are based on years of experiences and “best practices” in skating. They are essential to making things work for everyone involved in a skater’s success. Figure skating has undergone many changes in the past five years so all of this is important for staying on top of everything.

These will be updated continually to keep up with an ever evolving sport and society. Families will be notified if anything changes.
