Private Lesson Information

​If you are interested in private lessons, contact one of our BCFSC Coaches to see if they are accepting new students. Coaches’ contact info is listed at the bottom of this page and on the bulletin board in the rink lobby. All BCFSC Coaches are U.S. Figure Skating certified, background checked and insured.

You don’t have to be a club member to take private lessons; however, private lessons taken during the rink's Freestyle/Lesson Ice and BCFSC's Club Ice must be taught by an approved instructor.  Ice Fee payments must be made prior to the start of each lesson. 

 
Coaching Fee
($15-$40 per ½ hour lesson, depending on coach)
***paid directly to skater’s coach***


Ice Fee (during Club Ice)
($6.00/30 mins for club members)
***Paid to the BCFSC ice monitor in the lobby or via the Club Ice Payment Portal***

​

 If your private lessons occur during Club Ice (see times listed below) and you are not a current member of the Beaver County Figure Skating Club, you will be charged the nonmember ice fee rate ($8/30min) and must sign a liability waiver in order to take private lessons.  

***Please note, a Learn to Skate USA membership from our LTS program is not the same as a Beaver County Figure Skating Club membership***

​

If you take private lessons during the rink's Freestyle/Lesson Ice sessions, the ice fee is paid to the rink's front desk. Skaters should contact the front desk attendant to create a bcia.recdesk.com acct for payments.


Club Ice Times
Tuesdays 3:45-5:45 PM
Thursdays 4:30-5:30 PM
Saturdays 2:15-3:45 PM

To be considered a BCFSC coach, instructors must be a home club member of BCFSC.
