Made for figure skating coaches
The coaching app that speaks skating.
Lesson plans, video, tests, competitions, programs and music, and billing, in one calm app built by a figure skating coach.
On iPhone, iPad and the web.
Lesson plans
Every lesson planned. Every lesson remembered.
Plan each lesson in a few words before you step on the ice, then jot down how it went. The next lesson starts from where the last one left off.
- A plan for every lesson, even two on the same day
- Ideas from their goals, next test and next competition, one tap to add
- “How did it go?” notes you can share with the family, or keep private
Video
Video made for the rink, not for social media.
Tap Record and film take after take. Rinkside knows who’s on the ice from your schedule, and each take saves itself while you keep coaching.
- Star a good take or delete a bad one before it uploads
- Slow motion, frame by frame, and zoom right into the blade
- Draw lines, angles and circles, and talk through it with a voice-over
- Compare two jumps side by side, and share with the family
Tests and levels
Tests and levels, the way U.S. Figure Skating does them.
Every skater’s levels in one place, with the 2023 test names, Learn to Skate USA, Aspire and adult tracks. Know who’s ready, who’s registered, and when.
- Test sessions, in person or virtual with a due date
- Ready to test, scheduled, passed and retry, at a glance
- Bill test-day coaching to the right families
Competitions and events
Competitions without the spreadsheet.
Entries, events, deadlines and practice ice for every skater going, then billing that splits your travel fairly across families.
- Reminders as entry deadlines get close
- Practice ice and the competition on your schedule
- Travel and extras split between families in monthly billing
- Shows, seminars and camps too, each with its own notes
Programs and music
Programs, music and PPCs, ready at the boards.
Each program’s music and every cut, playable right from the skater’s page, with the planned elements spelled out in proper ISU codes.
- Play the current cut at the rink with one tap
- Planned program content with every element decoded
- Share the PPC with the family in a tap
Goals
Goals that point at the next event.
Tie each goal to a competition or test session, so the date moves with the event. Check in as you go, and families see the goals you choose to share.
- Goals counted down to the competition or test
- On track or needs work, in a tap
- Shared goals show on the family’s page
Billing
Billing that knows how skating works.
Monthly invoices made from the lessons you actually taught, in advance or after. Late cancels charged, cancellations credited, competitions billed.
- Every family’s invoice for the month in one go
- Running balances and statements
- Venmo and Zelle with QR codes, plus card payments
- Expenses, mileage and a Schedule C summary at tax time
Schedule
Your schedule, on every screen and your lock screen.
Weekly lessons, one-offs, group classes and events in a calm calendar. Plan next season’s times in one go, and sync it with Google or iPhone calendars.
- Drag a lesson to move it, this week or every week
- Plan your next schedule for summer or the school year
- Home screen widgets, and the lesson on your lock screen with a Record button

Calendar sync
Works with your calendar
Rinkside can put your lessons on your Google Calendar or iPhone calendar, and show when you’re busy with other things, so nothing gets double-booked. Connecting a calendar is optional, and you can disconnect it any time.
Rinkside uses calendar information only to show and sync your own schedule. It’s never sold or used for ads. How Rinkside uses Google Calendar
Made by a coach, at the rink
Rinkside started with one figure skating coach who wanted her lessons, videos and billing in one place. Every feature is used at the rink first.
