In keeping with the standards of many youth sports organizations, schools and recreational programs in America today, U.S. Figure Skating has implemented coaching requirements, background screening and continuing education requirements to help ensure that we are providing a safe environment and protecting the welfare of all participants in U.S. Figure Skating-sanctioned activities. This will help give parents the highest degree of confidence that their children are not only receiving good care and proper instruction but are safe from improper conduct.
There are various requirements that all coaches must complete prior to being eligible to coach at U.S. Figure Skating-sanctioned events. As a club, it is required that coaches eligibility is verified based on the following two requirements. Refer to the U.S. Figure Skating Association for aditional guidance on selecting a coach: http://www.usfsa.org/content.asp?menu=coaches&id=451
