Learn to Skate

Why Learn with Ipswich Skating Club?

Our learn to skate sessions are led by our qualified and experienced coaches, to ensure a safe and fun environment for all those attending. Learning with our coaches can significantly reduce the likelihood of falls and potential injury alongside significantly improving the speed at which you learn.

We run three weekly Learn To Skate sessions across Ipswich and Felixstowe. These sessions are led by our coaches, qualified and experienced in creating a fun, safe environment for those taking their first steps into roller skating.

All of our learn to skate sessions are available to all ages and cater for complete beginners, through to those wanting to learn how to skate backwards confidently, crossover and turn from forwards skating to backwards skating with control. (See our Go Skate lesson program here!)

All of our sessions follow the same simple timetable.
0-30 minutes – General Skate – time to allow for participants arrival, getting their skates on and practicing before lessons start.
30-75 minutes – Lesson time – participants are split into the four grades for direct learning with their coach
75-90 minutes – Break time – An opportunity for participants to have a rest, drink and snack after their lesson to recover.
90-120 minutes – Games and practice – Games are available that reinforce activities from the lessons, or skaters can practice on their own if they wish.
