If your a novice or beginner and would like to try a Learn to Skate session all you need to do is turn up on Sundays between 12noon and 1.45pm and let our coaches do the rest!! |
|
|
|
|
Our Learn to Skate session on Sunday afternoons is the best session for beginners. This certificated programme offers 45 minute compulsory group tuition (12.15pm - 1.00pm) from our resident coaches, then 45minutes of free ice (1.00pm - 1.45pm) to allow the skater time to practice what the coach has delivered. This session is an ideal introduction to ice skating which will help build your confidence to attend more advanced sessions. |
| Who is my coach? |
|
You can be safe in the knowledge that all the coaches teaching at Learn to Skate sessions are fully qualified. All our resident coaches are certificated through the National Ice Skating Association (NISA) , the sports governing body and carry all the necessary insurances that you would expect. Our head coach is Alice Fell and she brings a wealth of coaching experience. Alice has also been elected to the governing body's Coaching Technical Committee.
