Does anyone know anything about these two programs? I'm going to Boston for school starting next year (Boston University) and would really like to continue skating and maybe coaching a learn to skate program. While looking things up online, I came to the conclusion that I'm probably skate at Skating Club of Boston.
However, I was wondering if anyone knew anything about the National Figure Skating Academy Boston/Academy Recreational Skating Club or Bay Blades. Are these two seperate programs? THhy both appear to be run by the city, are they? Do they need coaches? Also, it seems very recreational (something I would look for if coaching LTS) and ISI (a big plus because I grew up in ISI and have just started USFSA and never went through their learn to skate). Also, would it be hard in such a big city? I only have limited experience coaching group lessons, and never with my own class.
This summer, my coach did say that I should ask the skating director for more opportunity to coach and that my current coach would help me. But first I need to decide if I want to coach next year and if it's possible.
