1st Teaching Paycheck

[Skate@Delaware]

I just got it in the mail yesterday! For one session but it's enough!

I'm psyched! This fall I start teaching, probably one night per week (the little tots) so it will help supplement my income.

SWEEEEETTTT!!!!!!

Congratulations! I'm sure you'll do great this Fall.
Let us know if you need help or advice.

Just be aware that teaching and coaching gets very time-consuming.
It's hard to carve out "skate for myself" time when a student needs help/lessons.
That's why I skate at a different rink where "no one knows my name."
Well, lov2sk8 knows me, but none of my students are there. ;)

I had posted an insurance thread (http://www.skatingforums.com/showthread.php?t=23365) earlier this month.
You might need the info for the Fall semester.

Congratulations!

It feels great to get paid for doing something you love!

It was my understanding that the "employees" of the rink are covered by the State Fair insurance. That is a good thing.

As far as going somewhere else to skate, the other rinks are about 45 minutes to an hour away...not very practical. I only plan on teaching one night or Saturday per week for now. Or Tuesday daytime for the Mom & Tot time. That's when the director teaches so I would be directly supervised. Plus, I've helped her out during that time (it's right after public ice so I've gotten extra skate time that way).

I was surprised by the amount of the check...for one hour! It was a nice chunk so I'm not complaining-plus I got a free moves class!

Fantastic S@D!
Sounds like from other posts too, that you are building quite a resume.
Happy skating 8-)
