# 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.

# 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 good way to start inline skating giving the junior skater an opportunity to skate correctly from the very beginning. The £10 cost (pay on the day) includes hire of skates (proper free rolling skates with heel-brake) and safety pads all provided at the lesson, just bring your cycle helmet, compulsory. The accompanying adult must be in attendance during the entire lesson.

 

Kids welcome at the Arc Sports Hall indoor skate sessions on family days.

  • Here's more information about family sessions.
  • Two dates for your diary.
  • Sunday 7th March 10.30am to 12noon.
  • Sunday 25th April 10.30am to 12noon.
