is our free ISI seminar on March 6. Jimmie Santee, manag- ing director of PSA, will be speaking to the coaches, and Bill Dobbs, general manager of both South Suburban Ice Arena and South Suburban Family Sports Center, will be speaking to managers and arena staff. Local managers are working to form a closer connection with each other to keep the rinks growing in an area where there are many other sports. Tat is the downside of our area having more than 300 days of sunshine a year! Tere are many outdoor sports to choose from in sunny Colorado. I hope your winter is full of many rewards!

ISI District 15 (Arizona, Hawaii, Southern California, Southern Nevada) by Randy Winship, District Director
Nearly 60 coaches from 17 different rinks attended the recent ISI/PSA Instructor Seminar at the Pasadena Ice Skating Center. Gerry Lane was the guest speaker and gave insight and expertise to help coaches teach the new dance step turns for the new pat- terns. This year’s seminar was held in
Pasadena since that facility will co-host the upcoming ISI Holiday Challenge competition for the first time with Pickwick Ice Gardens. After the ISI Updates and Rule Revisions, Gerry and I
teamed up to share their experience and examples for every- one to be “Te Best Coach You Can Be.” Tey discussed 10 questions every coach should ask themselves on a regular basis to make sure they are on track to improve their teach- ing technique. Another on-ice session featured three coaches presenting
various group-class teaching topics. Cece Frankhuisen cov- ered beginner classes for all ages; Carrie Philipps did Freestyle class levels; and Teri Ballard did Stroking class exercises and how to adapt the same exercises for various levels of students.
