UG in English

When you have learned the figure skating basics it is possible to further develop and start training in Utvecklingsgruppen (UG). 

UG is aimed for skaters between 4-10 years and who would like to skate more (3 days a week). 

• Learn single jumps and pirouette positions
• Training strength, coordination and mobility on the ground is included to ensure that the skater can perform on the ice.
• Dance/Balette will be available if possible
• Skaters will have coaches with a higher training level and in a smaller group, this gives the skaters a chance to develop quicker.
• UG will continue training during the postseason (Apr-May).
• The skaters are recommended to participate in the camps organized by the club.

After UG the recommended group is Förberedande Tävlingsåkare (FB).

Training- 3 days/week including fys in connection to ice training.

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

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.
• Avoid wearing hoodies. 
• 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 who have not passed pin 8.,
• Make sure the helmet is a CE-marked and designed for skating (ex, bike helmet is not acceptable).
• Come to the ice rink with enough time to put on skates and be ready, dont forget to warm up prior to goin on the ice. 
• Go to the bathroom prior to the lesson

Skaters need proper figure skating skates such as Edea or Risport.  Please ask you coach for advice. 

• Stabel skates which go as high on the ankle as possible.
• 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 buy second-hand skates make sure the toe picks are in good shape.
• Make sure you have skate protectors to get to and from the ice.
• Make sure you dry the skates after the lesson to avoid rusting
• Use smooth/soft protectors for storage.
