2024-2025 Coaching Staff 

 We encourage skaters at every level to consider hiring a private coach to enhance their skating experience. Skaters registering for any of our StarSkate programs require a private coach and it is up to you to secure a coach for your skater before registering for any StarSkate sessions.

 Our NBSC coaches are all National Coaching Certification Program (NCCP) trained and certified, and are in good standing with Skate Canada. All coaches are also certified in First Aid. They work with skaters at all levels and disciplines, and each coach offers varying levels of experience and expertise. The NBSC coaches are independent contractors. You become their client and are billed directly for the services they provide which are above and beyond any club registration (or other) fees. Duration, lesson format and fee structures vary from coach to coach. 

PLEASE NOTE: The North Bay Skating Club Board and volunteers do not get involved with agreements and payments made between skaters and coaches.

**Prior to registration in Uplifter, you will need to speak to your coach and make sure they have availability for the session you are interested in.
