Our Coaches
FSCO Professional Staff
All FSCO coaches are Rated members of the Professional Skaters Association of America (PSA) and have diverse competitive skating backgrounds. Our staff teaches group, tots and hockey classes year-round, as well as one-on-one private lessons with the more competitive skater. Each club professional is an “Independent Contractor” and all scheduling arrangements for private instruction must be made directly with them.
