● Parents ask

Goodquestions.

Does my child need prior experience?+

No. Most children start at First Glide. Older beginners join a short assessment and are placed with peers of a similar level.

How long does each stage take?+

Durations are guidelines. Children progress when they pass the stage milestone — never by age alone.

Is competition compulsory?+

Not at all. Competitive and Elite stages are for skaters who want them. Many children train for fitness, friendship and fun.

Can my child switch disciplines?+

Yes. Foundations includes taster sessions, and skills transfer well between disciplines — especially roller to ice.
