COACH REGISTRATION - WHAT DOES IT MEAN?
In order to teach private lessons at The River's Edge, a coach must carry liability insurance. Group lesson instructors may or may not have this insurance, and so may or may not be eligible to teach private lessons. All group lesson instructors have passed a criminal background check, as required by the City of Davenport, have completed SafeSport training, are registered as instructors with Learn to Skate USA, and are covered by insurance while they are teaching in the LTS program. A group lesson instructor who is not also a USFS registered coach may take skaters to competitions at the Basic Skills levels only.
A US Figure Skating registered coach has passed a criminal background check, provided proof of liability insurance, completed annual Continuing Education Requirements and SafeSport training, and paid a registration fee to US Figure Skating. US Figure Skating requires registration of all coaches who instruct skaters for sanctioned events, such as competitions, test sessions, and sanctioned shows.
US Figure Skating members can use the Coaches Directory in the Members Only section of the USFS web site to access information about all USFS registered coaches.
