For the hobbyist

Groups

From the beginning of September to mid-April of each season, it is proposed to practice figure skating without participating in competitions.

! Stars and competitive groups train from August to May. !

Hobby Group - Harrasteryhmä

The hobby groups are intended for school-age children and young people. In these groups, participants practise elements of figure skating such as edges, spirals, spins and jumps. Skaters can decide for themselves how often they wish to train (1–3 times a week). Training sessions are on Tuesdays 18:00–19:45 (on ice + off-ice), Wednesdays 17:00–19:00 (on ice + off-ice) and Sundays 16:00–16:50 (on ice).

All groups are also welcome to take part in the club’s performances and events!

You can join at any time during the season. Registration now!

Stars - Tähdet

The ‘Stars’ development group is open to all children aged 4 and over who are interested in figure skating. The group practises a wide range of figure skating elements, such as basic skating, glides, jumps and spins. From this group, skaters can move on to either the competitive or hobby groups. The group trains four times a week, and skaters choose three suitable training sessions from these.

You can join at any time during the season. Registration now!

Competitive Groups - Kilpailuryhmät

The competition groups train with specific goals in mind several times a week. The skaters in these groups compete at national and international level. Before registering for a group, please contact the head coach (Finnish, English, Russian) paavalmentaja@hatal.net 

You can join at any time during the season.

Adult Group (EXES) - EXÄT aikuisryhmä

In the EXES group, we build on the skills learnt previously and move on to slightly more challenging steps and step sequences, whilst also practising jumps and spins. Everyone can progress at their own pace in a supportive environment.

The aim of the sessions is to develop technical skills (gliding, rotation, turns and pivots), as well as to improve fitness, balance and flexibility.

A key aspect of the sessions is the cheerful and encouraging atmosphere, as well as the experience of learning something new.

The group is open to anyone aged 16 or over, or those who have retired from competitive sport.

You can join at any time during the season. Registration now!
