If you don't like the competitive side of figure skating than do it recreationally. Then you wouldn't have to compete or if you decide you want to compete you still can. This is a great solution if you just want to learn jumps and spins but not compete.
my friends and i call it skating
I love figure skating!!
Your coach should be able to tell you what level of competitive figure skating to start at (pre-juvenile, juvenile, pre-novice, novice, junior, senior) or if Competitive is right for you in the first place. If not, you can always compete in the more recreational side of figure skating, i.e. Starskate (entry level, pre-preliminary, preliminary, junior bronze, senior bronze, junior silver, senior silver, gold.) Also, taking a test will help you determine which level you're at.
