FREE SKATE
Malmö Ice Flyers offer figure skating training for adults during evenings and weekends.
We follow a training plan where we practice together and help each other, but everyone is responsible for one’s own development as a skater. Our focus is on individual training and individual instruction, but we offer traditional group lessons as well. Depending on the members’ interest and level we arrange workshop sessions on the ice where we focus on a specific aspect or discipline in figure skating. Many of us also participate in international adult figure skating competitions.
SKATING SCHOOL
Malmö Ice Flyers offer skating school for adults.
No matter if you skated a bit as child, or if you are a novice on the ice, you are welcome to us. The purpose of the training is to provide the skaters with basic skills to be able to skate and practice safely and efficiently on the ice.
The training sessions consist of falling and breaking techniques and flexibility exercises. The focus then shifts from basic forward and backward skating to cross overs, turns and more advanced gliding exercises and "show-off moves".

EQUIPMENT
Clothes. Flexible workout clothes. Pants in synthetic material are preferred as cotton quickly absorbs water and becomes wet.

Skates. As the skating school only focuses on basic ice skating, any kind of skates can be used. However, we do not have skates to lend but instead we recommend to check with Fritidsbanken.
