​The Helsinki Ringette Skating School is open to all children aged 3–12 who want to learn how to skate or improve their skating skills in a safe and encouraging environment.

​

Become a confident skater!

During the season, children learn to skate through fun games, activities and skating drills. We explore the basics of skating in an enjoyable way, with themed practice sessions alongside our regular activities. Practices are organised according to each child's age and skill level.

​

No previous skating experience is required -  beginners are warmly welcome! As children's skills develop, they have the opportunity to continue in Helsinki Ringette's junior teams.

​

We warmly welcome you to come and give it a try. Perhaps this will become your child's new favourite hobby!

​

ONE FEE - THREE ICE RINKS

Starting from the 2026–2027 season, one season fee gives you access to all Helsinki Ringette Skating School locations.

You can attend:

• If needed, a parent or guardian may be asked to assist at the players' bench.

 

WHAT TO BRING

To get started, your child only needs:

• Skates

• A helmet

• A water bottle

• A positive attitude

 

⛸️ SKATES

Ice hockey skates are recommended, but figure skates or beginner skates are also perfectly suitable.

We recommend:

• having the skates properly fitted before the first session

• sharpening the blades regularly.

Well-fitted and properly sharpened skates make learning easier, improve skating posture and help keep the blades in good condition.

Prosharp Vuosaari, located at the Vuosaari Ice Hall, offers skate sharpening and fitting services. Jari is happy to help with any questions.

 

🪖 Helmet

A regular bicycle helmet is sufficient for beginners.

As your child progresses, we recommend using a helmet designed for ice sports.

A face cage can also be attached to provide additional protection in case of falls or collisions.

 

💧 Water Bottle

We skate, play and stay active, so it's important to drink water during breaks.

We recommend writing your child's name on the bottle.

 

😊 A Positive Attitude

Our coaches are always happy to help.

Learning new skills can bring excitement and sometimes a few nerves too, and that's all part of the journey. We support every child at their own pace in a safe and encouraging environment.

​

We warmly welcome your family to come and give skating a try - we hope you'll enjoy it as much as we do!
