Outdoor Skating lessons

ALL YEAR ROUND PRIVATE LESSONS (Recommended)

This is the best way to learn to skate having the instructor's full attention for the duration of a lesson. The lesson is tailored to suit the skater's own ability level and progresses at a comfortable pace keeping in mind the anxieties and concerns the new skater anticipates.

A lesson lasts a skating hour and costs:

• 1 skater in one single lesson £19
• 2 skaters in one single lesson £32 (£16 each)
• 3 skaters in one single lesson £39 ( £13 each)

An hour too short? Add £5 (per skater) for an extra ½hour

Need to hire skates/pads? Add £5 (per skater).

More information on the skating equipment page. Bring your own helmet or buy a skate helmet on the day. A lesson can be taken any time morning, noon or night (within reason) seven days a week all year round by arrangement.

• Not too sure about all this, sounds a bit daunting.
• Why not try one lesson to see how you get on?
• Pay on the the day or pay online.

Lessons held outdoors mainly at Bellahouston Park, Glasgow Green, and Cramond or Silverknowes, Edinburgh. If you would like Don to hold lessons nearer your home the following rates give an idea of travelling costs to add to your lesson. Ayrshire coast/Stirling/Falkirk £5. Edinburgh/Perth £10 (No charge for Edinburgh on Saturdays).

Learn to Skate in a Day (Private Lesson)

If you are time poor and keen to skate sooner why not learn to skate in a day. 4 hours of "one to one" skating costs £60 which includes skate hire and safety pads just bring your helmet.

A day too long? Try a half day £35. Lessons held at Bellahouston Park, Glasgow Green and Cramond/Silverknowes Edinburgh. For other locations add travelling costs. Dates can be arranged anytime to fit in with your busy schedule. Click or call/text to make arrangements. Pay on the the day or pay online.

Kids want to skate? (8 to 12 yrs of age)

Then book an introductory lesson to see if they like skating. Children should be taught the basics properly from the start. This is a safe, friendly, easy introduction to inline skating giving the junior skater an opportunity to skate correctly from the very beginning.
