Camp Director and Private Lesson Coach

Highest Singles test passed: Preliminary
Highest Skating Skills test passed: Adult Silver

I began skating with SVFSC at the age of four and trained with the club for 14 years before transitioning into coaching. I have coached group and private lessons for the past seven years and currently serve as SVFSC’s Camp Director.

I enjoy working with skaters who are motivated to learn, grow, and challenge themselves. One of the most rewarding aspects of coaching is watching skaters gain confidence, strengthen their technique, and achieve new goals. My philosophy is to create a positive and supportive environment where skaters feel encouraged to develop their skills, build self-confidence, and foster a lifelong love of the sport.

Figure skating has been a part of my life since I was young, and it’s something I’m grateful to share with the next generation of skaters. Becoming a mom has made coaching even more meaningful to me, as I get to watch young skaters grow in confidence, develop new skills, and discover their own love for the sport. My goal is to create a fun, encouraging environment where every skater feels supported, celebrates their progress, and learns to believe in themselves both on and off the ice.

Learn to Skate Group and Private Lessons Coach

Highest Singles test passed: Preliminary
Highest Skating Skills test passed: Pre-Silver

My name is Sarah Durytskyi, I grew up loving the sport of Figure Skating. I started skating at 3 years old but did not have lessons until I was between 9-11 years old. Although my skating journey began later than some, my determination and passion for the sport proved useful as I was able to pass many levels in a short amount of time. I would have enjoyed furthering my skating career but chose different options as my focus turned to college. My passion for skating has stayed with me and I hope to encourage this love for the sport in other skaters. Figure Skating taught me a lot about character, discipline, grace, and what it means to be a team player while also encouraging individuality. I want to inspire skaters of all ages that they can set goals and achieve them no matter when or where they started their skating journey. Hard work pays off, and no matter how early or late it takes one to begin, it’s all about the mindset and how hard they are willing to push themselves and work to achieve their goals.
