Private lessons are designed to improve skills at any level and enhance your skating experience.

World Ice Arena employs two tiers of coaches: Senior Staff and Junior Staff . Both tiers are available for private (one skater/one coach) or semi-private (two skaters/one coach) lessons.

Senior Staff Coaches are always available for private or semi-private lessons. These lessons can take place during our General Skating or Freestyle sessions, depending on your skating level and the skills you want to work on.

To arrange for a private lesson with a Senior Coach, please complete our Private Lesson Request Form. This form is submitted to our Skating Director, who will connect you with a member of our Senior coaching staff. You can expect a response within 72 hours of your request.

Junior Staff Coaches are also available for lessons, but these lessons must be arranged with the Skating Director and are introductory lessons only. Junior Staff Coaches are permitted to teach a maximum of three lessons with any student. These lessons must be paid for and tracked at the Main Office.

When you come to the rink for your lesson, we will ask for your name, your coach’s name, and the number of lessons you’ve taken.

After the third lesson, you will be given the opportunity to continue your private lessons with a Senior Coach. Please consult with the Skating Director for assistance.

A few things to note:

· Admission and skate rental are not included in the cost of the lesson and must be paid upon rink entry.

· All coaches are independent contractors. The agreement and schedule of lessons are between the skater and the coach.

· Private lessons are typically 30-minutes in length. Additional time must be arranged with your coach.

· Snowplow Sam 1-4, Basic Skills 1-6, and Fast Track Adult 1-6 are taught during public sessions or Coffee Club (for skaters 18 years of age and above).

· Freestyle 1 and above are taught during any freestyle session.

Client Expectations:

· Coaching fees are paid directly to your coach and are due at the time of the lesson.

· No more than two skaters are permitted in any lesson.

· Know your coach’s fees, scheduling, and cancellation policies.

· Provide your coach at least 24 hours’ notice for private lesson cancellations, or full price may be charged.

· Lessons will not be extended due to lateness.

· World Ice Arena is not responsible for rescheduling any lessons.

· All admissions to the rink are nonrefundable. No credits, refunds, or rescheduling. No exceptions.
