U.S. Figure Skating, the premier source for all things figure skating, has teamed up with Rink Tank Interactive to bring you the 'U.S. Figure Skating Skate Coach' app series for iOS.

The Skate Coach app series was designed to help skaters, parents, instructors and officials understand the standards set for the Basic Skills Program through the use of high definition video examples.

The Dance 1-6 app focuses on the components of ice dancing and reviews the basic edges & turns, all while skating to music. Skaters will complete the first 6 compulsory dances, which can then be tested solo or with a partner.

Whether in the comfort of your own home, traveling to the rink or during practice, you will always have a Skate Coach in your pocket!

DISCLAIMER: Participating in ice skating has inherent risks, but with good technique and sound equipment these risks are mitigated. While the Skate Coach app series provides examples of skills performed correctly, they are NOT meant to supplement professional skating instruction! Improper use of the Skate Coach apps could result in bodily harm! Please do not attempt these maneuvers while holding an iPhone, iPod touch or iPad on the ice. U.S. Figure Skating and Rink Tank Interactive are not responsible for injuries resulting from (direct or indirect) use of these apps.
