"good value for money and excellent tuition
looking forward to the next 5 week course
..... well done to the coaches....."
 Mrs Hart

The Skating School application forms are available from the Box office or can be downloaded below and need to be completed and handed back at least one week before the course is due to start.
 

Our Skating School classes are all booked in advance and are taken by NISA registered licensed coaches. When you book onto one of these classes you will learn the basic fundamentals of skating starting with moving forwards and gradually working through the Skate UK levels, which our coaches use as guidelines to coaching.
 

Mark your level of achievement by purchasing either a grade level certificate or colourful badge, these being available from our coaches. A list of those elements can be found below.
