PRIVATE COACHING

Iceworld™ offers private coaching for figure skating for all ages and abilities. Utilising dedicated ISQ Figure Training Sessions, available at both Iceworld™ venues, lessons can be taken on your own or in a small group. We recommend finding a coach that you or your child connect with and feel comfortable.

Only coaches that hold current qualifications with the Australian Professional Skaters Association and are ISQ Members are approved to coach at Iceworld™ venues.

Please note, Private Coaches will charge separately from Iceworld™. Accessing Private Coaching requires paying rink entry as either an ISQ Member or non-ISQ Member and adhering to our Conditions of Entry. Visit our Figure Skating page to view all ISQ Figure Training Sessions available at Iceworld™ venues.
