Coach / Student Agreements or Contracts

Signed agreements between a coach and student/parent are very uncommon in the skating world.  It is more widely used by coaches of higher level skaters.  Some might wonder why a skating coach would want a parent and student to sign an agreement.  Well, you don't see gyms, dance studios personal trainers, massage parlors, and even utility companies, etc. not use some sort of agreement, do you?  So why wouldn't a coach have one?  An agreement is mainly there to protect the coach and student and to make sure the student and parent understand and agree to what is expected of them.

The agreement amongst other things usually covers student and parent information, skating history and level, need to know medical history, emergency contact, dresscode, policies and rules, ethics, payment methods, pricing, and the risk of the sport.  That way, everyone is clear on what is expected of them which leads to less confusion.

You should give it a try!  It just might save you a lot of stress and money.
