We built what we wished existed

By skating parents who get it

We've spent countless hours in rinks, watching our kids train and seeing firsthand the challenges coaches face every day. Rinkly was born from wanting to help the coaches who've invested so much in our children's dreams.

Our Story

As skating parents, we witnessed the juggling act coaches perform - managing multiple rinks, coordinating with dozens of families, tracking student progress, all while delivering world-class instruction. We saw coaches we admire spending precious time on spreadsheets instead of perfecting triple jumps.

That's when we realized: The people dedicating their lives to developing skaters deserve better tools. We understand both sides - the parent perspective and the coaching reality.

So we built Rinkly - a platform designed specifically for the unique challenges of figure skating coaching, created by parents who've become passionate advocates for the coaches who've invested so much in our children's dreams.

Our Mission

Simplify Scheduling

Make figure skating scheduling as effortless as stepping onto the ice. No more phone tag, no more confusion - just smooth coordination that works for coaches and families alike.

Save Time

Give figure skating coaches their time back. Every hour saved on admin is an hour that can be spent on what matters - perfecting techniques, working on programs, and building meaningful relationships with skaters.

Enhance Experience

Create better experiences for everyone - coaches, skaters, and families. Clear communication and smooth operations make the figure skating journey more enjoyable and focused on what truly matters: the love of skating.

What We Believe

Coaching is an art

Figure skating coaching is about developing both athletic skill and artistic expression. Technology should enhance, never replace, this beautiful human connection.

Time is precious

Every minute spent on admin is a minute not spent perfecting a jump, working on artistry, or building the coach-skater relationship that makes champions.

Community matters

Figure skating creates lasting relationships and memories between coaches, skaters, and families - we want to strengthen these bonds that make our sport special.

Simple works best

The best solutions feel obvious in hindsight and effortless in practice.
