Learn to Skate USA has teamed up with Rink Tank Interactive to bring you the Learn to Skate USA 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 Basic 1-6 app introduces the fundamental moves - forward skating, backward skating, stops, crossovers and turns. Upon completion skaters will have a fundamental knowledge of the sport, enabling them to progress into specialized disciplines of skating.
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!

Latest reviews of Basic 1-6 app for iPhone and iPad
Best app on my phone. Oh yess.
Unreal tool for coaches, skaters & parents to visually support US Figure Skatings Basic Skills printed material.
I was looking for a tool which would show a bench mark for how the elements should be executed to be passable. Unfortunately this application doesnt provide that reference. Since the elements are skated by skaters who are more advanced it is unrealistic to expect such levels of execution at the various levels. It is merely showing what the elements are. I guess it is a tool which is good for those who are new to skating.
Love them all!! Shows videos of ALL skills. Best app ever!! My one wish is that it would show examples of passing standards.
Although it is nice to be able to view the levels, I was hoping to see skaters at each appropriate level demonstrating the passing average of each move. These young skaters looked as though they could have passed the preliminary moves in the field test.
