How Private Lessons Work
Private lessons are arranged directly between the skater (or parent) and the coach. Coaching fees are paid directly to the coach, and ice time must be purchased separately through the rink. Lessons may take place during members-only sessions, public sessions, freestyle sessions, or stick and pucks (dependent on availability and discipline). Please view our calendar here: http://calendar.rink.guide
Typical lesson lengths include 15, 20, 30, or 60 minutes and may be taken individually or in small groups of up to three skaters (at the discretion of the instructor). Rates and payment methods are directly arranged with the coach.
