Parents:
1) Contact your current coach and express your reasons for wanting to switch to another coach. There may be a way to correct the situation and the need to switch could be resolved before a change is necessary.
2) Make sure that you have paid your account balance in full with your current coach.
3) Discuss this change with your child. Make sure that he/she is comfortable with the changes you are about to make.
Future Coach:
1) Direct the client to first make contact with the former coach.
2) When this has been done, contact the current coach. Make sure there is no possible resolution to the situation.
3) Confirm that all outstanding balances are paid in full with the current coach prior to scheduling any lessons. NO lessons should be given prior to receiving confirmation of account status. There are often exceptions and discrepancies. These need to be handled on a case by case basis.
4) Respect what the former coach has done for the skater. If technique changes need to be made, do so without degrading the former coach's method.
5) Support your fellow coaches. Staff meetings are helpful to discuss these procedures and numerous other topics related to a happy and successful environment within the rink.
Skaters:
1) Switching coaches, if the above procedures are followed, should not affect the skater's relationship with other skaters (except regarding working in groups).
