Team Indy's Mission:
Our mission is to provide excellent instruction to the individual skater. As a team, we utilize our experience, education and specific specialty areas to coach a well rounded skater. Providing the athlete and parents with the information necessary to enable them to choose a realistic and affordable course of action to achieve their goals and objectives while facilitating positive relationships and a love for the sport that will last a lifetime.
How it works:
- Identify your head coach
- Schedule private lesson times with head coach
- A weekly Team Indy schedule will be available for extra lesson availability.
- Payments: Each coach will bill a weekly invoice unless other arrangements are made.
- When traveling to competitions, ONE Team Indy coach will accompany ALL skaters. All fees, mileage and traveling expenses will be divided between all competitors. All Team Indy coaches have a policy sheet available.

Team Teaching Code of Ethics
Team Teaching PSA Code of Ethics
Ingredients for a Successful Coaching Team:
Respect for all other team coaches
Communication (regular and on-going)
Trust
Straightforwardness
Defined roles
Division of tasks
Division of tasks Respect for each other
Attributes of a Team Coach:
Trustworthiness
Moral
Ethical
Supportive
Team player
Checks ego at the door
Works within his or her boundaries (more positive)
Obligations of Coaches:
Communication is essential in order to create a productive team teaching environment. Establishing who will be the primary coach, secondary coach, etc; will help avoid confusion down the road. In addition, assigning tasks to each member of the team will help avoid conflict. Team coaches should take great care to speak positively about the “team.” Primary coaches should tell parents exactly what the role of the secondary coach/specialty coach will be. The secondary coach/specialty coach should only teach what is asked of them.
Communication is always the best way to ensure a positive training environment for all involved: the athlete, the coaches, and the parents.
Issue-Recruitment vs. Solicitation
When you advertise yourself in a public domain, you are RECRUITING. Targeting a skater already established with a coach and suggesting they change to you is SOLICITATION. Telling a skater already involved in a coaching relationship they will have better results with you is SOLICITATION.
