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

All employees (our coaches) and all voluntary personnel (board and functionaries) follow Swedish Figures skating association values (joy, enthusiasm and community).  

You will receive an invoice for the course and the affiliate fee (mandatory for all skaters, insurance is included) after the start of the course. The invoice will be sent through e-mail,  Svenskalag/IFK Täby KK.

You registration is binding once you have received the confirmation letter.

If you choose to try one session “Prova på” please let us know if you decide to drop off after this session otherwise an invoice will be sent. This information needs to be sent to skridskoskola@ifktabykonstakning.se

In case IFK Täby KK needs to cancel any training session mid-term due to other event in the ice rink an extra session will be offered. No adjustments to the fee will be implemented. 

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).

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.
