Ice-skating school

We have courses from 5 years old, in the autumn and early spring for all from beginners to advanced.

The autumn course starts in november, you will find information and how to apply at www.friluftsframjandet.se/jarfalla in the middle of october. 

The spring course starts in january, you will find information and how to apply at www.friluftsframjandet.se/jarfalla in the end of november. 

The children will learn the basics - how to go forward and backwards, stop and turn. The leader encourage the children through exciting and entertaining games to train and learn the techniques. They are divided in groups based on age, knowledge and experience.  

After a couple of years, when they master the basic techniques, it's time to learn more advanced techniques. We learn how to go faster, brake quickly, both snow plow brake, T- and hockey-stop, cross steps, scissors skating, quick turns, skate really fast and to dare more. We also learn how to use a bandystick and ball. The group is divided into smaller groups during technique training.

Equipment

Helmet and thick gloves are mandatory on the ice. The gloves protect the hands in case of a fall and must be worn even if it is warm. Buy an adjustable helmet so you can change the size easily if the child wears a beanie.

The clothes must be easy to move around in and cover the whole body. We do not want any sand or dirt on the ice therefore the clothes must be clean. It is important that the skates fit well. Do not buy with the intention that the kid will grow into them. Please visit our swap market (Bytesmarknad) in autumn where outgrown skates can be sold  and a new pair in the right size can be bought at a good price.
