Jr. Learn To Skate Instructor Policy This Teaching Program is designed for our AA skaters who are interested in coaching Learn to Skate (LTS) classes. Our goal is to support and guide you on your journey to becoming an LTS group instructor, I.C.E Instructor and/or Private coach! Please remember that this is considered a "job," so we ask that you carefully consider your availability before expressing interest. We are looking for skaters who can commit to being there weekly, not just "whenever it works best for you."
