Skating school

HTA’s skating school is suitable for preschool and school children from the age of three. They have the opportunity to learn how to skate through play in small groups, under the guidance of experienced instructors. Ice skating is a basic skill and a nice hobby that develops children in many ways!

New skaters can try the skating school twice before the final decision. Everyone should enroll to skating school from the link above, even if you are coming only to try. You cannot attend skating school without enrollment.

The invoice will be send only after third practice, so the invoice is not automatically created when enrolling.

Our skating school’s instructors are former skaters, young adults trained by ESLU, STLL and HTA, who have experience in both doing sports and physical activities with children.

Offer for the spring -24 (autumn -23 courses are arranged at the same dates and time, and at the same ice rinks)

Registration  for the skating school includes a skating pass (13 €). In addition to the basic fee, a club membership fee of 35 € will be charged for the 2023-2024 season.

General rules of the skating school

1. The field used by the club and the numbers of locker rooms are displayed on the notice board at the lobby of the ice rink, near the janitor’s office.
2. The club and the ice rink are not held responsible for items left in the locker room. The last person to leave the locker room is supposed to lock the door and return the key to the coach.
3. Do not go to the ice without an instructor and leave immediately after the end of the practice.
4. Parents should bring their children to the ice and meet them beside it at the end of the lesson.
5. It is  recommended that  parents wait for their children in the proximity of the ice rink so that their children can quickly find them if he or she needs to leave a lesson for some reason.

Skating school insurance

The club insures all skaters under the age of 15 who have paid the skating school fee and provided the necessary contact information. The insurance complies with the general accident conditions of youth sports insurance (U9507).

How to proceed after skating school?

The more times a week they skate, the faster they develop and the more experience they gain. Instructors and coaches recommend moving to development teams when there is enough enthusiasm for skating several times a week!
