Private Lessons at Macquarie Ice Rink
Private lessons are a great addition to your group lessons. Here at MIR, we have a broad range of professional coaches who specialise in teaching from beginners up to our elite international skaters.
Lessons are available during general and private sessions.
Bookings
All private lesson bookings and enquiries can be made by using our contact form below. The coaches work independently of the ice rink and as such your enquiry will be forwarded on to a coach who will contact you directly. Many of our coaches have limited availability so we are unable to guarantee lesson times.
Prices
The coaches set their own fees. The cost of a private lesson differs with each coach. The price per half hour is not dependant on the coaches level, experience or expertise. If you want assistance in choosing the right coach for you then please provide additional information in the lesson enquiry.
Rink entry is paid separately to the cashier.
Please be advised that if you have confirmed a lesson booking with the coach you may be charged a cancellation fee if 24 hours cancellation notice is not given.
CHOOSING A COACH
Our coaches specialise in many areas from working with children, adults, beginners, through to elite level athletes. It is important to choose a coach that suits your personality and needs.
Coaches are certified through the Australian Professional Skater’s Association (APSA) accreditation program. There have been changes to the National Accreditation program with both Education and Performance standards being acknowledged. Currently the highest Education level is Level 3 ‘Intermediate Coach’. Accreditation into the Performance levels have only just been implemented with APSA currently working on moving those coaches who meet the performance criteria into the higher Performance Accreditation Levels. Do not be afraid to ask your coach about their education or coaching performance achievements.
More information on choosing a coach can be found below the enquiry form.
Once your enquiry is forwarded to a coach it is up to them to contact you directly. This may take up to two weeks. If you do not hear from anyone please email us at skate@macquarieicerink.com.au
