Caitlin Smith

STARSKATE Coach

Professional Qualifications:

I grew up at Grandview, starting my skating journey at just three years old. From being a young skater to now coaching, it has been an incredible experience, and I’m excited to share my years of training and love for the sport with others. To me, coaching is about much more than teaching skills – it’s about nurturing confidence, building resilience,a dn inspiring personal growth. I believe skating should always be a place of joy and a safe, supportive environment where skaters can learn and thrive. I coach with the motto “fun with a purpose,” creating a blance between enjoyment and meaningful progress.
