Learn to Skate USA, the premier basic skating program in the world, has teamed up with Rink Tank Interactive, LLC 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 Freeskate 1-6 app is divided into 4 areas of skating, including moves in the field, dance sequence, spins and jumps. The levels are designed to be MASTERED so when skaters graduate from Freeskate 6, they have a strong foundation on which to build.
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.

Latest reviews of Freeskate app for iPhone and iPad
Great app with good qualities, but some of the moves start off wrong, like in a standstill, in which we do not learn it as. You should make and improvement where it has multiple ways to do the move.
I just told all my students to download this to their iPods! Maybe this will encourage them to practice. Waiting on the moves in the field app, that would definitely be helpful.
Great app! Very helpful for skaters to use on there own and another teaching aid for coaches. I used it last night for the first time on the ice and the kids loved it!
Nice demonstration of the various elements for each skating level. Especially helpful for the beginning skater or parent who wants to understand what their kids are learning. These are great - would love to see you expand into moves in the field!
What this app currently is capable of; demonstrating the elements is fantastic! Students with this app can leave their LTS lesson and practice and use these videos to remember how the element is performed for a passing mark. However for the coach I was hoping to be able to enter my student lis and grade them on each element so that I have one location for all this information and when the student has passed all the elements of a level it could inform me and the student of that... Easy help during a fast paced LTS schedule. This idea might only be useful on the larger screen of my iPad.
