Hello!
I'm an 19 year old male complete beginner (I just turned 19 last month). I can ice skate pretty well, but I haven't had any lessons or private coaching or anything yet.
I was just wondering how long it would take me to learn all the basic elements/footwork to where I could start learning double jumps? I know it varies by person, but could anyone guess some sort of time frame?
And what options am I looking at for competitive skating? Obviously I'm starting fairly late age-wise, so what kind of competitions would I ever be able to participate in? Would I just have to keep training until I turn 21 and can quality for the Adult competitions?
Thanks in advance for any help given. I appreciate it!
