OUR COACHES
At Skate Canada clubs, our coaches uphold rigorous standards to ensure the highest quality instruction. They are required to be National Coaching Certification Program (NCCP) Trained and/or Certified, maintaining current registration as professional coaches with Skate Canada. Additionally, coaches must have completed approved clearance and positions of trust checks, alongside holding a valid First Aid Certificate. Their dedication is reflected in their progression from CanSkate to National Certification levels, continuously enhancing their skills to provide exceptional coaching and support to our skaters. To find the perfect fit for your skating needs, we've provided a list of all PHFSC coaches along with their contact information below. Please reach out to them directly to discuss availability and arrange coaching for your preferred sessions.
