Book a skating lesson
When do the skating lessons start?
The skating lessons will begin again in early October.
What type of skates are best for children to start lessons with?
For (beginning) children, it’s best to start with combination speed skates. Once children have more experience, they can switch to low-speed skates. Make sure the skates are sharpened and fit well on their feets.
What type of skates are best for adults to start lessons with?
For (beginning) adults, we recommend starting with combination skates or low-speed skates with a sturdy boot. Ensure that the skates are sharpened and fit well on your feet.
I don’t have my own skates. Can I rent or buy skates?
Yes, you can rent or buy skates at Oomssport. They offer a wide range of skates for both rental and purchase. The Oomssport store is located on the left side at our inside entrance. For more information on the types of skates available for rent, visit https://www.oomssport.nl/nl/bedrijven/verhuur.
What should I wear for a skating lesson?
Wear clothing that allows for easy movement, such as sweatpants. The temperature on the ice rink is similar to the outside temperature, so we recommend dressing in layers so you can remove a layer if you get warm. Gloves are mandatory on the ice, and wearing a helmet is advised.
Starting at what age can you take lessons at the skating school?
Skating lessons are available for children starting from the age of 6.
How do I know what my skating level is?
To determine your skating level, you can use our level indicator. During the first lessons, coordinators will be present to assess whether you are in the right group.
Do you have questions about our courses and activities, or need help determining your skating level? For these and other questions, you can contact our Skating School. Angelique and Jerrie are happy to assist you at schaatsschool@deuithof.nl or 070 – 404 44 59.
