SSK in English

Skating school for beginners and those looking to strengthen their basic technical skating skills.

Age 3-4 and older.

We offer an educational training which gives your child the basic technical skills, regardless of whether your child chooses to continue with figure skating, hockey, bandy or just for the pleasure of skating with family and friends.

If you have basic technique figure skating school (konståkningsskola) can be an option.

Our coaches are educated at the Swedish Figure Skating Association and all have coaching experience in our club. All trainers speak Swedish and English fluently. Our goal is to give your child a pedagogical and fun experience while learning how to skate.

Aim: Learn basic skating technique

Groups: Skaters are divided into groups depending on skating levels

Training: 50 minutes once a week.

Fall-term ends with the christmas show and the spring term ends with the spring show.

A separate registration is necessary for each term.

Pins: There are 8 different pins representing different technique levels. The coaches are continuously following the skaters and will inform when they have reached a new level, thereafter the pin can be purchased. Buying the pins is voluntary.

The ice rink address: Tibble ishall, Åva Skolgränd 2-6, by Åva Gymnasium

Practical information

For the skating sessions you need to have:

Functional warm clothes, layer on layer is recommended to be able to adjust if warm or cold.
Make sure the clothes are clean from sand and dirt as this can be dangerous on the ice.
Gloves
Helmet is mandatory for all skaters in SSK, make sure it is a CE-marked helmet designed for skating (ex, bike helmet is not acceptable).
Label the helmet with skater’s name and the phone number where the coaches and voluntary personnel can reach you, if need be.
Come to the ice rink with enough time to put on skates and be ready
Go to the bathroom prior to the lesson
Parents/guardians help the skaters put on their skates and thereafter sit in and watch from the stands (the only people in by the entrance to the ice should be IFK Täby personnel).

Skates

You can find beginners skates in sport stores as well as used skates on the internet or second-hand stores as sportbytarboden.se.

Straight blades are recommended for beginners.
Stabel skates which go as high on the ankle as possible and preferable laced skates (you need to tie the skates).
Avoid plastic skates with buckles.
Make sure the skates are sharp.
If you buy second-hand skates make sure that there is still enough surface for sharpening the blades.
If you choose skates with toe picks (“taggar”) make sure the toe picks are in good shape.
Make sure you have skate protectors.
Make sure you dry the skates after the lesson to avoid rusting

Unfortunately, IFK Täby Konståkningsklubb does not have any helmets or skates to lend.
