Skate Instructors 2025

I began skating at the age of 4 and have continued to be involved in the sport during my entire lifetime. During my childhood, I competed in the ISI program in freestyle, figures, dance, and couples. I became an ISI Professional Instructor at the age of 16 and coached at both Decatur and Huntsville, AL, taking teams to many ISI competitions throughout the southeast over the years. I also ran many hockey clinics teaching Power Skating to their hockey programs. I took a break due to my full time career and raising 2 hockey players, but then joined an Adult synchro team and enjoyed getting back on the ice and competing again.

I’ve been involved with Ice on the Landing since I retired and moved to Chattanooga in 2014. I’ve been Assistant Manager for the past 3 years, and I’m so excited to be a part of starting the ISI Skating School this season and sharing my love as a lifelong figure skater

I began skating in 1976 at the age of six and have pursued the sport with passion ever since. I have completed ISI levels up through Freestyle and am currently training in ice dancing. Since 2021, I’ve worked on Skate Patrol with Ice on the Landing, and I am a certified ISI Skating Instructor dedicated to sharing my lifelong love of figure skating with others.

I started skating when I was old enough to drive to a rink. I trained in Chattanooga, Atlanta, Knoxville, and Huntsville. I attended many competitions skating mid level freestyle, dance, pairs. I skated in The Nutcracker on Ice for five seasons in Huntsville. I am a certified ISI teacher. I have been a certified Zamboni owner and operator for many years with training in rink maintenance and operations. Have been part of Ice on the Landing since the beginning.

I have been skating for 20 years. I have no intention of retiring anytime soon. I am a member of USFS (which stands for US Figure Skating). I am a 4x time Gold Medalist in Adaptive Skating Skills and Freestyle, Adult Skating Skills and Freestyle. Did Theatre on Ice for 3 years also I have also Ice Dance for about a year. Went to my first Midwestern Adult Sectionals in 2021. I have coached with kids with and without disabilities for about 3 years. I can’t wait to share everything that I have learned from skating and be able to help others learn to skate and expand there skills to become a great skater.

Hi, I’m Kate Spurling! I’m 22 years old and have been skating since I was 10. I started skating in Knoxville through the USFSA program, where I advanced through the freestyle levels before moving to an ISI rink. Over the years, I’ve grown through a mix of professional coaching and self-taught exploration, which has given me a well-rounded and creative approach to the sport.

My favorite skating elements are spins, and I love helping others discover the joy and confidence that come from mastering new skills. I’m excited to share my passion for skating and support skaters of all ages on their journey.
