Expert: Dianne DeLeeuw - 10/10/2009

Question
I did figure skating when i was 14 and stop for school. Is it too old to compete again at age 25?

What is the minimum Freestyle requirement for junior coach?

Thanks.

Answer
Hi,
I am not sure in your country but in the US there are many opportunities to compete as an adult.  I think you can with ISIASIA.  Check with coaches at your rink!
Most coaches in the US need a Gold test ranking or at least a Novice-Junior competitive record.  But again check at your rink they may need learn to skate assistants.
Good luck,
Dianne
