Our Philosophy
It is our belief that skating is a microcosm of life. We teach because we love our
sport, our skaters and working together. We want each skater that comes under
our guidance to leave us as a better person, not just a better skater. We want them
to feel good about themselves. We want them to respect themselves and others.
We want them to recognize that which is good and have an appreciation for it. We
hope they will grow to love their sport with the same passion that we share for it.
We believe that they will learn valuable lessons that will help them successfully
meet the challenges they will face in life.
The purpose of the Plainfield Skating Club is to promote the sport of Roller Skating,
train athletes, and coach artistic figure skaters at a competitive level. We hope to
instill in young skaters the value of good sportsmanship and good work ethic which
in turn will build good self-esteem. We will delver these life lessons with great
pleasure, honesty, integrity and respect in an environment that is safe, supportive
and fun.
