Our Coaching Team
The Leduc Skating Club offers a unique coaching strategy for all of its members. Many of our coaches actually learned to and continue to skate right here in Leduc! This group of coaches strives to provide the best instruction, support and encouragement for every LSC skater, whether they are in their first ever PreCanSkate class or a Senior level STARSkate class. They bring a wealth of experience and technical training to our programs, offering unique strength and abilities. One thing all of these individuals have in common is an incredible passion for skating and dedication to helping each skater achieve their very best!
