and that's why I asked where you were from. Because maybe you are getting more for your money wherever you already are. Most rinks are. But the main problem here is them not letting anyone else coach other than the few ?? quality they have. Do your coaches that charge 60/hour have high PSA ratings or are gold medalist or national experience? That would make a difference. If they have none of that and are charging 60 hour then you have my sympathy too.

A great coach can make a good skater better and a great skater can make a so-so coach look good. You can't rank a coach by how much they charge or what their PSA level is. What is more important is how they work with your skater. What might be a great coach for one skater could be the wrong choice for yours. There has to be some chemistry along with a strong working relationship that provides the right motivation for your skater. Kids are motivated in different ways and some coaches are not flexible enough in the way they teach to modify their approach.

but you can "rank" a coach by their experience, etc. when it comes to what they charge...especially when they don't want to let any more experienced coaches in the rink. However, some of these less-experienced coaches are definitely building relationships with some of these young skaters and that is nice.

We just got back and had a great time!! The ice was good and my dd was able to geta few lessons in as well.We met some nice kids and liked the coaches too.
Downfall... the public ice was more spendy. They have more time ie the afternoon session is 3 or 3.5 hours but it was 5.50 for her and 6.50 for adults. We were glad she was able to get time and we all had fun.She picked up some new skills and some new ways of doing things.Nice to have a new coach, even for a week.

 it's in interesting fact that simply hearing the same instructions from a "new" coach, or guest coach as the case may be, can really help a skater improve... glad to see that you had a nice visit to spudtown...hope y'all try visiting other cities on occasion for the same reason...the travel is nice and your kids skating will benefit...
