What is required to become a figure skating coach?

So right now I am looking into colleges and just wondering what classes would you need to take to become a figure skating coach and what would be required?Also does anybody know any good colleges for this type of work?|||i saw on some other questions of yours that your in grade 11. Some coaches at my rink are that young too! The youngest is 16, and she is still an extroadinary coach. So you need experience. You need to talk to your skating director at your rink, and ask if you can start assisting with the basic skills program. If so, do this awhile and gain trust with other coaches and experience in working with people.


Then you can ask your director what you need for coaching requirements.|||well first of all you have to have all your dances, and your preliminary freeskate, and your skills especially, i have a 300 limit so i have to do paragraphs

|||There really isn't a "class" to become a figure skating coach. It's more what type of experience you have in the field. Build on your resume, ask around at local rinks if they need coaches or assistants. The best thing to do would be to work with the Basic Skills Group Lessons and try and gain private lesson students through that. It also depends on what your interested in coaching. There isn't a college that majors in being a skating coach. I would get a membership through the PSA as well.|||Ballet! Really need to be flexible. N lots of exercise. Being ice skating coach is not easy. It's actually kinda hard... coz u need years to master ice skating n you need to know rythm so the dance will be good... N u kinda need to be good at math...
