Coaches
We have skateschool coaches and help skaters on the ice. Out help skaters give support to the children who may need to hold a hand sometimes. The coaches and help skaters are always there to help skating school's participants step on and off the ice.
Skates and other equipment
Everyone who participates in the skating school needs skates, helmet and mittens. Choose for yourself whether you want to skate with figure skates or hockey skates.
The association rents out stable beginner skates in children's size for SEK 300 per semester.
Accompanyung adult
You, as an adult, are of course welcome to watch the training. You can choose to stand up in the stands on the short side of the ice or in the space between the A and B rink. It is not allowed to stay in the players' booth next to the rink. That's because we want skaters and coaches to be able to work undisturbed down on the ice, but also because we want to avoid gravel and dirt on the rubber mats as it steals the rails. It happens that the children get sad or hurt and then we do our best to comfort them. If necessary, we will seek you out.
Figure skating school
You can start figure skating school when you can already skate. It is for you who want to continue developing your skating and learn the basics of figure skating with a focus on steps, edges, and spins.
