Running a skating school shouldn’t feel like a second job

You got into this to coach skating, not to chase texts and payments.

6:15 am, Saturday

“Elena’s sick. Who’s coaching her 7 am skaters?”

Now you’re texting 12 families, one by one.

Start of term

“Who still hasn’t paid term fees?”

Bank transfers, screenshots and awkward chats at the rink.

Missed class

“Mia has a cold. Can she do a makeup?”

Makeups live in your head or a notebook.

Parent catch-up

“Is Lucas ready for his next skating test?”

Progress lives in your memory, not where parents can see it.

Saturday, 7 am

“Two coaches booked the same ice time again.”

Coaches, ice time and group classes fight for the same slots.

End of term

“We won’t be re-enrolling.”

Skaters lose confidence and drift away. You notice too late.

Outcoach handles all of it, built around how skating schools are actually run.
Every way you teach

Every class your skating school runs, in one place

From first glide to competition day, one system runs them all.

Ages 3 and up

Learn to skate

Weekly group classes by level, with ratios and makeups built in.

15, 20 or 30 min

Private coaching

One-on-one coaching on freestyle sessions, booked and paid in the app.

Specialty

Figure and hockey skills

Competition

Tests and competitions

Skating tests, competitions and ice shows, with results tracked for every skater.

Mix and match. One student, one profile, every format.

How it works

Everything your skating school runs on, in one place

From grouping students to keeping them coming back.

1Set up
01 / 08

Group skaters by level

Pick your Level 3 skaters and turn them into a class linked to Saturday at 9 am. Each profile holds their level, classes and history.

02 / 08

Schedule a whole term in one go

Add a class once, repeat it for 10 weeks, then invite every skater from the Level 3 group.

2Every week
03 / 08

Message one parent or every family

Swap a class for a makeup when a parent says their child is sick, or tell every family the rink is closed and see who has read it.

04 / 08

Get paid without awkward chats at pick-up

Term fees, private coaching, ice time and competition fees in one list. Send a reminder with a pay link and watch it turn to Paid.

3Student progress
05 / 08

Give every student a clear goal

“Forward crossovers both ways.” “Land a clean waltz jump.” Add goals from skating templates and update progress after each class. Parents see it too.

06 / 08

Keep skaters improving between sessions

Set small tasks after each class, like off-ice jump drills. Skaters tick them off at home, so you know who practised.

07 / 08

Track tests, skills and competitions

Log test results and competition scores, track skills over time, and share coach feedback with parents.

4Grow your school
08 / 08

Spot students before they quit

See what is paid and what is owed, and the skaters who might leave: missed classes, a level that stalled, a term that ran out.

Step 1 of 8Set up
Student development

From first glide to first competition, every step tracked

Set goals for every level and see who is ready to move up. Students follow along.

FAQ

Questions skating schools ask us

Can’t see yours? Talk to our team and we’ll show you how it fits your school.

What is Outcoach?
Outcoach is ice skating school software for coaches, skating schools and rinks. It runs learn-to-skate classes, private coaching, figure and hockey skills, tests and competitions, with online enrolment, term billing, makeups, messaging and skater progress in one app, from $0.70 per student a month.
Does it handle group classes and private coaching?
Yes. Run group classes by level, 15 to 30-minute private lessons and specialty classes side by side. Each skater keeps one profile with their level, classes, goals and payments.
How do makeup classes work?
When a student gives notice, they get a makeup credit. Students and families book makeups themselves from open classes in the app, and you set how many makeups each term allows.
Can I bill by the term or the course?
Yes. Send term invoices to every family in one go, offer monthly payment plans, sell coaching packs, and add ice time, skate hire or competition fees to any invoice. Overdue invoices get reminders with a pay link.
Can I track tests, levels and progress?
Yes. Record each skater’s level, set goals from skating templates, log test and competition results, and set off-ice tasks skaters tick off at home. Parents see progress in the app.
What happens when a coach is sick?
Move classes to a cover coach, or cancel and issue makeup credits. Tell every family at once by SMS and email. Outcoach AI can find the affected classes and do all of this for you from one request.
Can families book trial classes online?
Yes. Publish trial classes, holiday camps and private sessions on your own booking page. Families book and pay online, and you can turn a trial into a term enrolment in a click.
Can I manage coaches, ice time and rinks?
Yes. Assign coaches and ice time to every class, see each coach’s timetable, and manage multiple rinks from one dashboard, so nothing is double-booked.
Do students and parents get an app?
Yes, and it’s free for them. Skaters and parents can see classes, book makeups, pay, tick off tasks and read messages from their phone.
Can I run tests, competitions and ice shows?
Yes. Schedule test sessions and rehearsals, enter skaters, send call times to every family, and collect competition or show fees in the same place.
Is Outcoach only for big skating schools?
No. It works for an independent coach with a few skaters, a skating school with many coaches, and rinks with multiple programs. You pay per student, so the cost grows with your school.
How much does Outcoach cost for a skating school?
Plans start from $0.70 per student per month billed yearly, or $0.99 paid monthly. There are no setup costs or hidden fees, and you can cancel anytime.
How do I get started?
Start a free trial and set up your first class in minutes, or book a demo and we’ll walk you through it for your school.
