Coaches
Our coaches are unpaid volunteers devoted to sharing their skating knowledge and skills with all enthusiasts. They have been checked by the Child Protection Unit. They coach and respect each skater as an individual, whatever their ability, from nervous beginners having some fun or competent skaters with an ambition to enter national / international competitions or progress professionally.
