FIGURE SKATING PRIVATE COACHING
Whether you’ve finished Aussie Skate Free Skate 4 and are beginning your ISA testing, wanting to compete in the sport and become a professional athlete, become a professional ice dancer and performer, or you’re looking for extra tuition to speed up your learning at any stage, The Ice ArenA’s In-House Figure Skating Coaches offer private lessons for all ages.
When you take private lessons you pay your coach directly.
DISCIPLINES
Figure Skating does not have only one pathway, there are many areas within this sport to explore including:
Competitive Figure Skating
Pairs
Synchronised Skating
Ice Dance/Ballet
We ensure that our In-House Figure Skating Coaches include a variety of specialisations for our skaters.
ACCREDITATION & INSURANCE
All Figure Skating Coaches working at The Ice ArenA are accredited and registered with APSA (Australian Professional Skaters’ Association). Coaches must also hold current Working With Children Checks and Senior First Aid as well as remain covered with professional and business insurance.
Additionally, some of our coaches hold accreditation for overhead or pole harness instruction, key in learning to perform jumps safely.
Please ensure you check the APSA website for the latest qualification level held by a coach you are interested in working with.
ORGANISING PRIVATE COACHING
CHOOSE A COACH
If you’ve been skating your way through Skate School, you would have been taught by some of our In-House Figure Skating Coaches. You can approach the coach whose training style suits you best and enquire about their availability for private lessons.
Alternatively, you can directly contact a coach you’d be interested in working with and enquire about their availability to take on new students.
If you are a proficient figure skater already and new to Adelaide or The Ice ArenA, we recommend chatting with our Head of Skate School & Figure Skating, Deb Barrett about suitable options for you and to meet some of our coaches.
PURCHASE A FIGURE SKATING PASS OR MEMBERSHIP
Choose from a Single Session entry or 10x Session Pass. Single Session entry must be purchased prior to the session before getting on the ice. A 10x Session Pass will give you access to any Figure Skating Practice Session up to 10 sessions for the 3 month validity period. 10x Session Passes cannot be used at Public Holiday sessions.
READ THROUGH THE TERMS & CONDITIONS

PRIVATE COACHING PERMITS
PRIVATE COACHING PERMITS
To provide private lessons, Coaches operate as sole-traders or businesses with The Ice ArenA venue. The Ice ArenA’s commitment is to developing Ice Sports in Adelaide and we want to ensure the best experience and outcomes for our students, coaches and community, therefore, we have a rigorous review process to allocate In-House Figure Coach permits. In-House Coaching Permits are, therefore, provided by invitation only.
TEMPORARY COACHING PERMITS
If you are new to The Ice ArenA and wish to coach for a short period or are looking to become an In-House Figure Coach, we recommend a Temporary Coaching Permit. This is a great opportunity to spend some time in our community to see if it would be a great fit for both parties.
VISITOR COACHING PERMITS
Perhaps you are already working with some of our skaters, or maybe you like to offer specialist instruction as you travel from rink to rink. This is exactly what our Visitor Coaching Permit is for. The Ice ArenA works closely with SAISA as well as our local clubs to assist with organising workshops and events, otherwise you are also welcome to use the enquiry form to reach out about your proposed training event.
