Clothing and Equipment
We suggest skaters wear soft, flexible, warm clothes which don’t restrict movement in any way and helps them to keep dry. Don’t forget gloves or mittens to keep their hands warm! A helmet is required for all skaters in the skate school. And don’t forget a hat and gloves!

• Helmets
  Helmets are obligatory​​ and skaters are not allowed on the ice without one on. The helmet should be appropriately sized and the chin strap tight enough so that the helmet stays in place. A ”l​ekhjälm”​ or hockey helmet is best. Skiing helmets are not recommended, as they can make it difficult to hear the coaches. Please mark your kids helmet with their name.
• Skates
  Proper figure skates with a toe pick are recommended for the skate school, and one must make sure the skates are ​sharpened.​ Even a lower level, the right type of skates can make a big difference for skaters. Ankle support and a blade in good shape are key. Recreational (pond) skates are often too soft to support the ankle and have blades of very low quality. It is best to start skating with the ”real” skates from the start. We suggest the following brands: Graf, Risport, Wifa, Jackson, Riedell. Some of these brands also have beginner models (Graf-Bristol, Wifa-Prima, Risport-Laser). While skates of a higher quality are more expensive, the overall skating experience is greatly improved by better skates. We suggest parents look for used skates at the same price as cheaper ones would cost brand new. Given that most skaters’ feet are still growing, it may be tempting to buy the skates a size bigger than needed, but this is not recommended (1.5 cm is the maximum amount we suggest going over in size). The club has a limited amount of skates available to buy in sizes 28-36.
