Rollerski Spring 2024

We have a great programme coming, to get you roller skiing well .

Our main focus is on Hyde Park with beginner classes, courses and our regular training group. But we also run private lessons and courses at Dorney Lake and other venues, as well as Hyde Park. You can join our regular Hyde Park and Olympic Park training groups after you have learnt the basics.

We are constantly instructing new skiers, and welcoming them to the sports of roller skiing and cross-country skiing. Beyond this, we are making regular skiers fitter and more prepared for challenges on snow and on wheels. Our team of instructors is always thinking up new and interesting challenges for each week's sessions, with the aim of improving technique, strength and fitness on rollerskis.

Our aim to make you a better skier - and have fun doing it - whatever your starting point happens to be. The fundamentals are balance, strength, fitness and technique, all of which you build up with every session.

 

COURSES COMING UP

For beginners, the main option is a 5-week course or a 1-day course. We run the 5-week courses in Hyde Park, and these are good as they give your body and brain time to recover between sessions. They also let you focus on one technique.

The 1-day courses give a great introduction into both techniques of skiing, classic and skating. The courses, which are held at Dorney Lake, Redbridge and Ascot, also include lunch.

This is an excellent time to start -

HYDE PK Classic 5-week beginners' course, starts Tuesday 2nd April
HYDE PK Skating 5-week beginners' course, starts Saturday 6th April
DORNEY LAKE 1-Day course, Sunday 7th April
REDBRIDGE 1-Day course, Sunday 21st April
BIATHLON 1-Day course, Redbridge, Sunday 21st April
ASCOT 1-Day course, Ascot Racecourse, Sunday 19th May

You can find a full course listing here.

These are all for beginners. But the 1-day courses also include options for more advanced skiers. We encourage more advanced skiers to join our 'club' training groups after the 5-week courses (see below), which offer more technical coaching and harder training sessions.

 

JUNIORS

This year we are making a big effort to bring in more youngsters to rollerskiing and cross-country skiing. We have various discounts for younger skiers, see here.

 

PRIVATE INSTRUCTION

Our instructors are available to run sessions for individuals and groups, during the week as well as weekends. Jordan is available in London (most weekdays) for one-to-one sessions and smaller groups. Felicity can do sessions at Dorney Lake, Brooklands, Richmond Park and Oxfordshire during the week, as well as larger groups in London. Details of our private instruction is here.

We also do private groups such as after-work events, stag and hen parties, and birthday sessions (for adults and kids).

CLUB - TRAINING GROUPS

We run three main regular training groups. Our club has been established since 2006. Each week we have a Saturday morning and Tuesday evening session in Hyde Park, plus a Sunday morning session in the Olympic Park in East London. All offer a mix of training and instruction. On Saturday at least one group will do classic and one will do skating technique, and we are always keen to introduce new members. You can find our Programme here.

We have a lot of people training for ski marathons and other ski challenges, and others training for general fitness and strength. Sessions are designed to improve technique, strength, endurance and agility - all essential for cross-country skiing and good for other sports and activity.

You can sign up for the club here. There are options to pay per session, quarterly or monthly by Standing Order.

 

FEEDBACK AND REVIEWS

You can find some feedback on our sessions here. Also we have been reviewed by various folk, including the Sunday Times, Sports Sister and Sky Game Changers who recorded a session we did for the charity, Streetgames.

 

 

We have a great team of instructors, we provide excellent equipment - rollerskis, boots, poles and protection - and we have a great passion for bringing the very best rollerski instruction to every session.
