About
In this level skaters should flow comfortably from forward to backward and backward to forward on the basis of continuous free skating and should be able to glide around the ice with ease. Skaters will link crossovers with 3 turns and mohawks. Coaches will introduce skaters to basic jumps and assist them in doing so with the correct technique before progressing to the next level.
More info
We have a fully stocked skate shop…so no need to panic if you forget your socks or gloves! Better still, we also have a cosy coffee shop so if you’re beginning to feel the cold, you can enjoy a hot drink and food, whilst you sit back, relax and view all the fast-paced action on the ice!
What to bring
Our rinks maintain an air temperature of 10C so warm layers are a must! An insulated rain jacket will keep you warm and dry, and be sure to bring long socks. We strongly recommend that young skaters wear a well-fitted bike, ice hockey or ski helmet.
