Vernon Figure Skating Club
Private Lessons
Vernon Figure Skating Club Coaches each offer Private Lessons.
Private lessons are one-on-one and are scheduled on Senior Ice times.
You may talk to each of the VFSC coaches regarding your skaters needs as each coach has their own coaching style. Personal fit is very important.
Make sure your coach is available for the sessions your skater is skating, not all coaches work every day. Scheduling must be arranged directly with the coach.
If you need to make a change, please contact your Coach directly.
Lessons occur each week on the same day. Lesson cost vary by coach, please confirm directly with your coach of choice.
Just as there are no refunds for unused ice time with the club, the same applies to your booked private lessons.
Semi-Private, and Group lessons may also be scheduled.

The cost of the Senior Ice Session is IN ADDITION to the Coaching Fee.
You must pay for BOTH the ice time and your coaching time.
Private lessons at the Primary and Intermediate levels are optional. However, the addition of private lessons becomes mandatory for skaters skating on Senior Ice time, and who plan on attending competitions with a program Star 2 and above. These skaters must hire a private coach for at least 1 ten minute lesson per week, to prepare for the competition.
