  • Does my skater need a coach?

    • The Hutchinson Parks and Recreation (PRCE) skating program is focused on introducing new skaters to the sport of figure skating and is setup for instructor-lead group lessons to learn the fundamental skills in Alpha, Beta, Gamma, and Delta skating levels.
    • Once a skater completes the PRCE program and joins HFSA as a freestyle 1 skater, HFSA continues to provide weekly group lessons and private ice sessions. 

  • What are the costs of private coaching?

    Coaching rates will vary by coach but you can expect ~$10 fee for each 15 minute coaching session. 

    The coach will bill the skater directly.
