Intimidated...Can anyone help?

It's unfortunate this happens, and I'm sorry that it's troubling you so much. I would suggest ignoring them as much as possible, on the ice just get down to work and off ice talk to some of the other lower level girls. If the girls are rude to you on the ice, for example telling you to get out of the way rudely then you can complain to a coach or the rink management because there is almost definitely rules for freestyle sessions which will include being polite and not yelling at others, and if these skaters violate those rules they could even get banned.

Also talk to your coach, as another answerer said, and see which sessions they teach their lower level skaters on and then see if you can have your lesson then as well.

On higher sessions remember that you have just as much right to the ice as all of the other skaters there, you paid the same amount to get in.

Also, rather than being intimidated try to make it motivate you, they might be unkind now but the more you practice the sooner you will be reaching their level.

If it really is a problem talk to your parents and coach about it, theyll be able to help you more and in person.

I hope you sort this out :)

Definitely work with your coach to find lower level sessions that suit both of you, but sometimes it may not be possible.

Has your coach talked about right-of-way rules on freestyle sessions? I was totally unaware of them because I too mostly practiced on public sessions, and made oblivious mistakes that I am sure fellow skaters ranted about. Learning the general practices can help you blend in better. You may also find it more useful to observe the jumping patterns / footwork sequences, and it will become easier and easier to navigate around other skaters.

Some skaters probably are just shy. Continue saying "Hi" and compliment others' when appropriate: Nice double axel! That was a gorgeous sit spin, how do you get so low and so fast? You will make friends on and off the ice, it just takes time.

And finally, you seem to be conscious about being on lower level relatively. Just continue to work hard and be patient with coach fixing your technique, and before long you will be skating like one of those advanced skaters! Good luck :)

I don't know why they would be mean to you.

Maybe they think they are better than you or are mad that you are there when you aren't doing doubles?

You are not wasting your parents time or money do not ever think that!!!

You have to remember that everyone, I mean everyone, starts out not being able to do much.

And in a few years you'll be one of those skaters the little ones watch and say "I'll be like her one day."

My advice would be to continue to do Freestyle sessions. But don't make any eye contact with someone unless they do it first.

And I would stay away from others like in your own little part of the rink so you don't 'get in their way'

Oh and just don't talk to them anymore until they learn to play nice(:

I am a Junior level figure skater and I absolutely never do that to anyone! Just sayin :p

Why don't you ask your coach which sessions she teaches her lower level pupils on, and whether you can have a lesson then?

It simply isn't possible that everyone taking private lessons at your rink is doing double axels.

that is really rude and mean you should see if your rink offers private lessons that way it can be just you and your coach

hope i helped
